"The product portfolio and manufacturing footprint of both companies has evolved significantly since establishing the entity in 2007. As such, it has been mutually agreed that it is best for both parties to exit the joint venture and move forward into the future on separate paths," said Jay Cheng, head of Asia operations at Dura Automotive Systems. "We look forward to continuing to support global and China-based automakers with exceptional innovation and world-class manufacturing."
