A year ago, Ningbo HuaXiang Electronic and Hib Rolem Trim signed a letter of intent for a project that involved transferring a production line manufacturing interior decorations for BMW to Romania. Construction of the EUR10million plant, creating 200 new jobs, started in early July 2015 and is to be finished by December 2016.
