Working at Continental Automotive in Newport News, VA: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Newport News, VA Area

"I started working at this company in 1992 while it was Siemens. It changed names several times, becoming Siemens Automotive and eventually Siemens VDO. In 2007 Siemens sold the company to Continental Automotive. At our location we were one only global R&D centers outside of Europe, focused on the design and manufacturing of fuel injection and exhaust after treatment products. Both companies provided and nurtured research and development. In late 2019 Continental announced that in order to better focus on electrification products/systems, they would be stopping development and production of hydraulic and combustion products/systems."
