• Automotive Supply Industry Veteran Jeff Stafeil to Lead Combined Business

April 3, 2025 — Atlas Holdings announced today the formation of RESRG Automotive, a global supplier of coated exterior systems and components to automotive OEMs established with the closing of Atlas’ previously announced acquisitions of Rehau Automotive and SRG Global. The Rehau Group, the former parent of Rehau Automotive, will partner with Atlas in the new company through a minority ownership stake in RESRG.

RESRG will be led by Chief Executive Officer Jeff Stafeil, a 30-year veteran of the automotive supply industry. Stafeil previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Tenneco. Prior to that role, he served as Executive Vice President and CFO of Adient PLC. Atlas Operating Partner Fritz Henderson, who has extensive senior management experience across the automotive and manufacturing industries, will serve as Chairman of the Board.

With 10,000 associates across 22 production sites worldwide, RESRG combines SRG Global’s integrated, functional decorative systems for the automotive, mobility, and commercial truck industries with Rehau Automotive’s exterior, bumper, and polymer functional systems.

“The automotive industry remains an area where we see continuing opportunity, especially during this current period of uncertainty and volatility,” said Atlas Managing Partner Jacob Hudson. “We have a long history of investing in automotive suppliers and working with talented and experienced business leaders to position these companies for long-term growth, and that is our intention with Rehau Automotive and SRG Global through the creation of RESRG Automotive.”

“The combination of Rehau Automotive and SRG Global creates a leading global supplier with a highly complementary footprint, unique set of capabilities and trusted customer relationships, which, together, position RESRG for long-term success. Rehau and SRG bring a combined 160 years of experience to their work, serving the world’s leading automakers with unparalleled capabilities. I’m honored to lead RESRG, and look forward to getting started,” said Jeff Stafeil, CEO of RESRG Automotive.

“The Rehau Group is proud of the reputation Rehau Automotive has earned and we look forward to seeing the business thrive as partners with Atlas Holdings in this endeavor,” said Dr. Veit Wagner, Chairman of the Rehau Group.
