AML Systems are an independent company with considerable expertise gained from long experience with a wide customer base over more than two decades’ work in lighting and actuator development. This was achieved as the in-house department of Valeo Lighting Systems responsible for the design, manufacture, and commercialisation of actuators and headlamp cleaning systems. They were spun off from Valeo and on 1 July 2010 a management team took control consisting of CEO Eric Julien; VP of Sales & Business Development Jean-Eric Peugeot, COO Denis Goudigan, and financial partners led by Syntegra Capital with a strong innovation and growth program.
