TRW Automotive Components (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. was established in 2002 and manufactures airbag electronic control units and steering gear assemblies. Due to growth in demand, the company has increased its investment in TACS, facilitating the relocation within Anting to a new, larger 20,000 square metre, purpose-built facility – almost five times the size of its previous site. The expansion will allow for the future production of new airbag electronic control units.
The Shanghai TRW Automotive Safety Systems Co., Ltd. (STASS) operation produces occupant safety systems and is a joint venture that was established in 1997 between TRW’s predecessor and a subsidiary of Shanghai Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (SAIC). STASS will relocate from its current location in Shanghai city to a new, larger purpose-built 10,000 square metre facility in Anting. The partners have increased the total investment for this joint venture due to the increase in seatbelt volumes and the introduction of the manufacture of airbag and steering wheel products.
