Federal-Mogul in August 2002 announced plans to explore the sale of certain OE lighting operations to Decoma International.
Under the sale agreement, Decoma International would acquire Federal- Mogul’s OE lighting manufacturing facility in Matamoros, Mexico; a distribution centre in Brownsville, Texas; and an assembly operation in Toledo, Ohio. Decoma International would also acquire the customer contracts and supporting manufacturing equipment at Federal-Mogul’s lighting facility in Hampton, Virginia.
The OE lighting plants to be acquired from Federal-Mogul by Decoma International have more than 400 employees and produce primarily forward lighting modules for cars and trucks.
Federal-Mogul will continue to maintain its lighting manufacturing operations in Boyertown, Pennsylvania, and Sparta, Tennessee, which produce bulbs, sealed beam and light source products to Tier 1 suppliers who in turn sell them to vehicle manufacturers. Federal-Mogul also will maintain its Wagner Lighting products manufactured in Boyertown and Sparta, and its Zanxx lamp socket business in Avilla, Indiana.
