Magna, which claims to be the global market leader in automotive mirrors, has opened a new engineering centre in Shanghai to bring its latest vision systems to local automakers.
The new centre is expected to generate up to 100 jobs, including highly skilled engineers. The facility will also feature an innovation showroom where customers will be able to see and interact with Magna’s latest global technology.

The supplier aims to bring newer technologies like its ClearView inside and outside mirrors to China. Specialising in both camera based advanced driver assistance systems and mirrors, it developed ClearView to help improve visibility while changing lanes, backing out of a parking space, or driving with a vehicle full of cargo.
Magna has 44 manufacturing plants in China, with six dedicated to mirrors production and serving more than 45 customers globally including Volkswagen, Ford Motor, General Motors, Nissan and Great Wall.
“China is a key hub for our engineering and product development within Asia and around the globe,” said John O’Hara, Magna Closures and Mirrors president.
“Our new Shanghai engineering centre allows us to increase our development activity, providing even more customisable solutions for automakers.”
