ArvinMeritor to establish manufacturing facility in China
ArvinMeritor Inc. today announced it will open a new wholly owned operation in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. The 300,000 sq. ft. facility initially will manufacture trailer axles and suspensions for key trailer manufacturers in China, as well as for export of components to North American and European plants. The company's board of directors approved the investment in the new facility.
Investment in the Wuxi operation will include $35 million for new equipment. Production is estimated to begin in the first half of 2007.
The company said other drivetrain and brake components will be added to the operation's portfolio, as the company continues to pursue its strategic enterprise model.
The company has identified local sourcing for its components, which furthers its integrated manufacturing strategy to bring all aspects of the supply chain within close proximity of the facility.
