§Winston Score History

The full picture

Kongsberg Automotive ASA is a Norwegian company that makes parts and systems for vehicles. Its main products include gear shifters, seat comfort systems, fluid transfer systems, and driver control components. It sells these parts to large automakers — called OEMs — like Volkswagen, Ford, and Stellantis, making it a supplier deep inside the global automotive supply chain.

The company earns money by manufacturing and selling these components directly to vehicle makers under long-term supply contracts. It operates across Europe, North America, and Asia, with dozens of production facilities worldwide, and generates roughly $1 billion in annual revenue. Its main competitive advantage is its engineering relationships with major automakers, but those same relationships create risk — if a key customer cuts orders or shifts to a new platform, revenue can drop quickly. The bigger long-term challenge is the transition to electric vehicles, which changes which components cars need and could reduce demand for some of Kongsberg Automotive's traditional products.
