Faurecia, a seat and cockpit specialist, has taken over the 50% interest owned by Portuguese automotive supplier Simoldes Plasticos in Romanian company Euro Auto Plastic Systems (Euro APS).


Faurecia and the Croatian car components manufacturer AD Plastik now each hold 50% of Euro APS’s capital, with Faurecia taking full responsibility for the operational management of the joint venture.


This acquisition enables Faurecia to considerably broaden the scope of its work for the Renault group, particularly for the Dacia Logan.


Euro APS manufactures and delivers instrument panels, door panels, bumper systems, headliners, carpeting and acoustic trim for the Dacia plant in Pitesti, which works mainly on the Logan.


Sales amounted to EUR58m in 2006 and the plant employs 680 people.
