Rassini, a Mexican industrial company engaged in the design and manufacturing of suspension and brake components for the automotive industry, was awarded a contract for the sixth generation Ford Mustang. The company is supplying brake rotors for the iconic muscle car with production happening at its facility in Mt. Morris Township, Michigan, increasing more than 10 percent of its workforce in and around Flint, Michigan.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to partner with our longtime customers at Ford on one of the most iconic and American-made vehicles in the history of our industry,” said Eugenio Madero, CEO of Rassini S.A.B. de C.V. “The continued growth and success of our Mt. Morris Township facility is a result of the hard work and dedication by our employees in Michigan, and we look forward to continuing to work with Ford to meet and deliver upon their needs.”
Supplying high-carbon brake rotors for the Ford Mustang, Rassini is certified and recognized globally as a technology leader in the design and production of the highest-quality brake components within the automotive industry. With a 380mm diameter, Rassini’s brake rotors for the Ford Mustang offer precise tolerance to ensure ultimate performance while increasing overall longevity of the parts.
In addition to Rassini’s Technology Development Center in Plymouth, Michigan, the Mt. Morris Township plant, which opened its doors in 2013, is the second U.S.-based manufacturing facility for Rassini. With the addition of a second automaker supported out of the facility, Rassini is continuing to expand its North American presence, creating additional jobs in Michigan and providing positive economic impact on the township itself.
