What Veritas does
Veritas is a Tier 1 automotive supplier specializing in fluid and thermal management solutions using elastomer, plastic, metal, and polymer compound materials. The company manufactures products including fuel lines for diesel and petrol engines, SCR-based emission systems and particulate filter control lines, cooling systems, charge air moulding systems, polymer solutions, and emerging new-mobility components for electric and hybrid vehicles, alongside a portfolio of branded flexible liner technologies (Blue-Liner, Flex-Liner, VeriConflex, XZ-Liner, VeriPentaflex) and the GLEVERLOC product family for CNG, LPG, and hydrogen fuel systems. Its technology stack rests on proprietary in-house tooling design and manufacturing, electric and pneumatic-powered forming stations that consume 90 percent less energy than legacy hydraulic equipment, in-station force/vision/laser inspection systems, and an in-house test laboratory for material, dimensional, and functional testing.
The company operates through 13 manufacturing facilities across 11 countries on four continents — USA, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Poland, Hungary (two sites), Germany, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, China, and Morocco — with world headquarters in Livonia, Michigan and over 5,000 employees. Veritas generates revenue exclusively through direct B2B supply contracts with major automotive OEMs (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, VW Group, Stellantis, Rivian, Volvo, Isuzu, Suzuki) and Tier 1 system suppliers (Continental, Denso, Magna, Valeo, ZF Group, Mahle-Behr, Hanon, Nexteer, Brose); pricing is determined through OEM procurement processes and is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by industry-recognition-driven credibility (multiple GM Supplier of the Year awards spanning 1997-2025, Ford Q1, VDA 6.3, IATF 16949, ISO 14001, EcoVadis Bronze) and direct OEM relationships, with no consumer-facing or indirect distribution channels.
The current Veritas entity was formed by HDT Automotive Solutions' 2024 acquisition of Veritas AG's headquarters and selected business activities, followed by an August 2025 unification of HDT Automotive Solutions and Veritas under the single global Veritas brand, consolidating six legacy companies into one operating identity. The company traces its roots to the Berliner Gummiwaarenfabrik founded in Berlin in 1849, making it the oldest rubber processing company in Germany.
