About VIGNAL SESALY

VIGNAL SESALY is a French manufacturer of embedded lighting, signalling and safety systems for commercial vehicles, buses and motorhomes, off-road vehicles, rail vehicles and municipal vehicles such as sweepers, refuse collection vehicles, aerial work platforms and tow trucks. The company develops and manufactures standardised and customer-specific products such as LED signal lights, rotating beacons, warning lights (Triflash), work lights, light bars, acoustic warning systems (AVAS), camera systems and reflective signalling. The competencies include mechanics, electronics, thermal management, lighting technology and optics; in the integrated research and development department at the Saint-Priest site, project management, mechanical, electronic and optical design, FEM simulations, light simulations, 3D-printed prototypes as well as testing and product qualification are carried out. In 2021, SESALY was integrated into the VIGNAL GROUP, which is represented on three continents (Europe, Asia, America). The group employs around 600 people and generates revenue of 140 million euros.
