- Landi Renzo S.p.A. Italian-headquartered designer and manufacturer of LPG and CNG fuel system components and conversion kits. Direct competitor in alternative fuel injection technology and the counterparty in Valtek's April 2026 strategic integration deal.
- AC S.A. (AC Automotive): Polish manufacturer of LPG and CNG automotive fuel systems, including injectors, reducers, and complete conversion kits. Comparable alternative fuel product line and aftermarket distribution model across Central and Eastern Europe.
