With the acquisition complete, Voltava forms a premier global manufacturing and assembly partner serving a diverse array of industries including automotive, industrial, e-mobility, micromobility, heavy truck, government, tooling and equipment design, and manufacturing.

We have created something special — fostering an environment of collaboration, social responsibility, respect, diversity, accountability and excellence.”
