Opening of new facility in Turkey / Production of outside mirrors and fascias
Canadian automotive supplier Magna (Aurora, Ontario; www.magnaint.com) has recently opened a new greenfield production facility in the Turkish town of Kocaeli. The 10,300 m² just-in-sequence site is being utilised for exteriors, interiors mirrors and closures and will employ close to 200 individuals. The plant is to primarily produce fascias and outside mirrors for the new Ford "Transit", the company said. Additionally, front-end modules, running boards and engineered glass products will also be manufactured at Kocaeli.

"Consistent with our strategy to pursue growth in developing markets, this new facility opens the door for our exteriors and mirrors business in Turkey," explained Günther Apfalter, president of Magna International Europe. The new facility is the second one for the company in Turkey. In 2003, Magna Seating, also a complete just-in-sequence unit, was opened in Gölcük.
