two business people shaking hands

VAST

The VAST Automotive Group is a unique global alliance between STRATTEC, a publicly held company headquartered in Wisconsin, along with two privately owned companies, WITTE Automotive, based in Germany and ADAC Automotive, based in Michigan. This partnership of nearly two decades gets its name from the acronym which defines our business, Vehicle Access System Technology.

By working together, our customers have benefited from an expanded global automotive footprint through the creation of a family of complimentary products, shared expertise and operations in the US, Mexico, China, India, Brazil, Japan and Korea. Together, we generate nearly $2 billion in annual sales to a broad and well-known customer base of global automotive OEM’s.

The VAST Automotive Group has many years of experience serving our global customers by designing, delivering, and meeting their operational footprint needs through efficiently and effectively working together.
