Veritas

What Veritas does

Veritas is a fluid and thermal management solutions provider for the global automotive industry, operating as a combined entity following HDT Automotive Solutions' 2024 acquisition of Veritas AG and August 2025 brand unification. The company develops and manufactures components in elastomers, plastics, metals, and polymer compounds for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, with a product portfolio spanning fuel line systems (diesel, petrol, CNG, and hydrogen up to 700 bar), SCR emission systems, charge air ducts, thermal management lines for batteries and transmissions, polymer structural components, and HVAC fluid handling assemblies.

The company's underlying technology rests on proprietary processes including the Gleverloc solderless stainless steel connection rated to 700 bar and certified under EC 79 for hydrogen and ECE R110 for CNG, the Verneo bending process enabling hose lengths over one meter with narrow radii, the VeriQuick quick-connector system, and a family of low-permeation multi-layer liner technologies. Manufacturing is vertically integrated across 14 facilities in 11 countries, with more than 98 percent of value-added activities — tube cutting, forming, crimping, brazing, welding, and automated assembly — performed locally. In-house tooling design and an automation apprenticeship program support the operating model.

Veritas generates revenue through B2B hardware sales under long-term supply contracts with major automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, with named customers including BMW, General Motors, Volkswagen, and Mercedes. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with technical teams co-located at manufacturing sites near OEM production regions in North America, Europe, and Asia. Pricing is quote-based per OEM program and not publicly disclosed. Approximately 5,500 employees operate across the global footprint.
