ANDERSON, IN--
Remy International and Johnson Electric Holdings Limited based in Hong Kong have signed a strategic cooperative agreement under which Johnson Electric will supply Remy with components, motor assemblies and support services for Remy's Wholly Foreign-Owned Enterprise (WFOE) located in the Guangdong province of China.
Johnson Electric provides micro motors and integrated motor systems to global customers in the automotive, power tools, home appliances, business equipment, audio-visual and personal care sectors.
