“China is an important operations base for Federal-Mogul. The new plant expands our manufacturing footprint in the region to serve local customers there.”
The new 7,000-square meter plant will provide additional production capacity for Federal-Mogul’s complete systems protection portfolio, including its Thermflex exhaust insulating sleeve.
Thermflex protective sleeves, made with a natural fibre, can effectively retain heat in exhaust pipes for emissions to be sufficiently decomposed.
In addition to passenger car applications, Thermflex is also used for domestic public transit vehicles, mainly for reducing particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide.
