The production area covers a total surface of 5,600 square metres, with assembly lines dedicated to headlamps, rear lamps and fog lights.

At full speed, the plant will be able to produce around 2m pieces a year. The new plant was also designed to accommodate further expansion for different types of product families.

Production will be aimed at both local manufacturers such as Autovaz, Gaz, Sollers and international carmakers, for example Renault, Volkswagen and Ford operating in Russia.

The new development complements the existing Magneti Marelli Automotive Lighting plant in Ryazan – built in 1995.
