Focusing on China, Cooper Standard has accelerated its business development in the Asia Pacific area in recent years.
The automotive supplier recently established a Technical Centre in Shanghai, which includes a Test Centre for FTS products; acquired majority ownership of its joint venture with Chinese domestic supplier, Huayu Automotive Systems, expanded the operational scale of its FTS and FBD systems in Eastern China and started a new sealing facility in north-east China.
“The opening of our Huai’an and Chongqing facilities is a further testament to Cooper Standard’s commitment to our customers and the Chinese automotive market,” said Cooper Standard chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Edwards.
