China’s Yanfeng Automotive Interiors has opened a second manufacturing plant in Plana nad Luznic, Czech Republic.
The facility will make instrument panels and door panels. The company is in the process of ramping up production and expects to reach full output by early 2018.
Yanfeng says it has hired more than 170 employees at the factory and plans to add another 130 workers by year-end. The company expects to eventually employ as many as 500 people in the region over the next few years.
Yanfeng’s existing plant in Zatec, Czech Republic, makes door panels, floor consoles and other interior components. The company operates several other facilities in central Europe, including sites in Slovakia and Hungary. The Shanghai-based supplier has 33,000 employees at 110 plants and technical centers in 18 countries.
