This plant is intended to become a base for the production of plastics components for interior and climate control products to supply car manufacturers located in eastern Europe.


The plant’s first customer is PSA Peugeot- Citroën’s Trnava plant, just 35 miles (45km) away. Visteon is currently supplying 207 door interiors from Nitra.


Later this year it should also start producing climate control parts for the Kia Accent.
