Grupo Antolin has opened its new factory in Shenyang, China.
"Grupo Antolin is focused on growing and investing in China, which is a key market for our strategy," said Grupo Antolin chairman, Ernesto Antolin.
"The company has been rewarded in this country with significant contracts by the biggest carmakers. One of the secrets to our growth is we have been very close to our customers to respond to their needs."
The Shenyang factory produces around 4,000 headliners daily, mainly for BMW and employs about 200 people.
Grupo Antolin is strengthening its industrial presence in China as part of its plan to invest EUR900m (US$1bn) between 2017 and 2019. In the first quarter of 2018, Grupo Antolin reached an agreement with Donghuan to establish a joint venture in order to expand its window regulators business in the Chinese market.
Grupo Antolin also started production at a new factory located in Chengdu, which supplies door panels to Geely-Volvo.
