TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. announced plans to open a new Technical Center in China in 2013. The 32,000 square meter facility will be built in Anting and will be able to accommodate more than 1,000 engineers.
“The new Tech Center in China demonstrates our long term commitment to China and the region and when complete will be one of our largest technical facilities worldwide,” explained CEO John Plant.
“With over 26 million vehicles predicted to be built in the year 2016 in China, the automotive industry needs to be prepared to support this tremendous growth. Our Tech Center will support our customers with their ambitious plans.”
The new Technical Center will house research and development, engineering design and application, testing and validation activities across all of TRW’s product lines — and will be able to directly provide its customers with technical and commercial services.
Construction is slated to begin in the third quarter of 2011 and will be ready for operations in 2013.
