Vector Informatik is opening its 11th foreign subsidiary, with the founding of Vector Brazil. Vector Brazil will market the entire product line-up for automotive electronics in South America. Electronics developers in South America will now receive intensive support in close co-operation with the company's headquarters in Stuttgart.

The subsidiary in Sao Paulo will be directed by Mats Larsson, who has many years of experience in the automotive industry and at Vector Informatik. As Key Account Manager, Vector Scandinavia, 2003-2013, Larsson supported OEMs and suppliers in the automotive industry.

The official company name of the local subsidiary is Vector Informática Brasil LTDA. Vector Brazil offers consultation and assistance to customers related to the topics of development of distributed systems, ECU testing, ECU calibration and ECU software as well as in-vehicle diagnostics. Other focal points are process management and teaching training courses at the Vector facilities in São Paulo and at customer sites. The specialists cover technologies that include CAN/CAN FD, Automotive Ethernet, FlexRay, LIN, MOST, J1939 and AUTOSAR. Mats Larsson and his team are contact partners for all customers in South America.

"Interesting market opportunities are developing for Vector in South America, because automotive OEMs and international suppliers are not only manufacturing in the region; they are also increasingly building up independent development teams. This increases the need for support in accessing a development environment that is continually growing in complexity. Vector Brazil can offer the best possible support," summarises Larsson.
