Faurecia Interiors, a global manufacturer of automotive interior systems, has announced plans to open a new production facility in Toledo, Ohio.
The new facility will create more than 100 new jobs and will officially begin production activity in April 2019, ramping up to full production within a few months. Faurecia will make an estimated investment of $11 million to begin operations in the 73,000-square-foot plant.
“Faurecia is proud to open this new site and to provide new opportunities for local job seekers,” said Donald Hampton Jr., president of Faurecia Interiors in North America. “We look forward to building on Toledo’s reputation for automotive expertise and excellence as we provide our customers with high-quality products.”
The project is still contingent on final approvals at the state and local level. Faurecia plans to manufacture and assemble full instrument panels using the latest technologies in the proposed facility. The company currently employs more than 750 people in Ohio at its Clean Mobility facilities in Franklin, Toledo and Troy.
