China Automotive Systems has opened its first US base, in Troy, Michigan. The US HQ will focus on market development, R&D and after sales service in North America.


Hanlin Chen, chairman and chief executive officer of the power steering components and systems supplier in China, said: “We are very excited about the opening of our first office in the overseas market.  We hope to leverage the resources available in the US to upgrade our product quality, enhance new product R&D and extend our leadership in the Chinese domestic market. Internationally, our US presence will also enable us to shorten the communication gap between our China operation and US OEMs.”


Chen continued: “Ultimately, we see tremendous technology collaboration and growth opportunities between our new US office and our existing Chinese operations.”
