The newly set up engineering center will help Magna match the pace of growth in the world’s largest automotive market. The new location, which will include a seating testing lab and prototype shop, will employ approximately 60 people initially, but is expected to increase employment to more than 100 at full capacity.
“Opening a technical centre in China is a reinforcement of our commitment to our customers as they are looking for innovation and technology breakthroughs in the local market,” said Mike Bisson, president of Magna Seating. “This centre will help us stay in tune with local industry expectations and trends so that we can continue to deliver the most innovative seating solutions to the market.”
