The 21,000-sq-metre (226,000 square feet) facility will house seven production lines for six-gear transmission systems, which will be supplied to Toyota’s factories in the UK, France, Turkey and South Africa. The project has created 260 jobs.


Production is fully automated, energy-saving and eco-friendly, CEO Kenji Manabe said at the opening ceremony.
