Luxembourg-based International Automotive Components (IAC), a leading global supplier of automotive components and lightweight vehicle solutions, has inaugurated its new state-of-the-art plant in Manesar enhancing its manufacturing and engineering capabilities in India.
The new 5,574-square-meter (60,000-square-foot) Manesar plant consolidates two older operations in near proximity into one manufacturing location. The company invested more than $ 2 million in the modernisation of the equipment and facility, which will employ approximately 220 people. It will produce vehicle headliners, center console systems, and instrument panel components and provide expanded manufacturing and engineering support to domestic and global original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers in the New Delhi automotive region.

With Manesar opening, IAC has five locations throughout India and 18 design, technical, and commercial centers around the world.
