Inteva Products, a Tier 1 global supplier of engineered components and systems, recently opened a new state-of-the-art facility in Rychnov, Czech Republic. The new facility produces window regulators and latches for Inteva’s European customers and currently employs 250 people, with plans for additional growth.
Inteva’s leadership team, led by President, CEO and Founder Lon Offenbacher, celebrated the grand opening of the new facility on April 21, during an invitation-only event. Employees, customers and suppliers, and dignitaries attended the event, which will included a plant tour, lunch, and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting. Dignitaries in attendance included Martin Puta, Governor of the Liberec region, and Tomas Levinsky, Mayor of Rychnov.
“I’m honored to join our Rychnov employees and guests in celebrating the opening of this new facility,” said Offenbacher. “Inteva’s strategic global presence ensures that our teams around the world are well-positioned to meet the needs of our customers. We look forward to this chapter in Rychnov and we envision a long and prosperous future with continued support and partnership between our employees, suppliers and customers.”
Since it was founded in 2008, Inteva has grown dramatically, the company states. It has tripled its global footprint, with new facilities in all regions of the world. Eastern Europe is a critical region in Inteva’s global growth plans. Not only is Inteva opening this facility in Rychnov this month, the company also will celebrate the opening of a new manufacturing site in Oradea, Romania, on May 4.
