BorgWarner inaugurates new production plant in China

Wuhan (China), October 11, 2018
 
BorgWarner has opened a new production plant in the Caidian Economic Development Zone in Wuhan, China. The new facility integrates comprehensive functions including production, engineering, quality, sales, logistics, administration and finance. As part of its efforts to support growing demand from the Chinese combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle market, BorgWarner’s new facility will produce drive motors, P2 motors, Belt Alternator Starter Systems, starters, alternators and related components. 
 
“This is a new milestone in BorgWarner’s history in China. The new plant will significantly improve our manufacturing capability in combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle products, underpinning our sustained growth in coming years. Leveraging our leading technologies and system integration ability, we will continue to meet growing demand from Chinese electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) customers with our localised production and engineering capability,” said Dr Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager, BorgWarner PowerDrive Systems.
 
The construction of the Wuhan plant started in 2016, one year after BorgWarner’s acquisition of Remy. The new facility integrates the former Remy plant with nearby production sites and adds new production lines. In addition to its original capacity, the new plant will produce drive motors, P2 motors, and other EV and HEV products locally for the first time. Designed as a lean manufacturing facility under BorgWarner’s worldwide standards which are guided by community and environmentally friendly principles, the Wuhan plant is dedicated to providing a healthy and comfortable work environment for employees and creating a harmonious relationship with the community. More than 300 employees currently work in the plant, and the company expects the workforce to double in five years.
