Supporting Customers on a Truly Global Scale
As a true partner to the global automotive community, we’re focused on supporting its operations wherever and whenever it’s needed. Our footprint covers most of the key automotive engineering and manufacturing centers, allowing us to deliver greater cost savings and shorter lead times for many of our products and technologies.
Currently, we support customers in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America with production facilities, production workshops, and toll manufacturing co-operations.
Europe
The fact that many of our largest customers are based in Europe is reflected in our regional manufacturing operations. We maintain state-of-the-art production sites in Hamburg, Romanshorn, Cerano, Zurich, and Düdingen. We also have manufacturing co-operations in several countries for our injection molded products.

Americas
Our U.S. manufacturing operations are centrally located, allowing us to reliably support all of North America’s automotive manufacturing hubs. Products for our parts business are manufactured at our largest U.S. site in Grandview, MO, while bulk products are produced in Marion, OH, and in Lyndhurst, NJ, or imported from Europe.
In South America, we have a production site in Sao Paulo, producing a broad range of products and technologies.
Adapting to the Evolving Demands of Our Customers
With our current footprint, we’re well-positioned to support customers all over the world. The automotive industry is changing fast, however, and the demand for more localized supply options is growing. As we move forward, we continue to re-evaluate and evolve our footprint with the goal of localizing the production of more of our technologies to better support our customers.
