US: Magna International joins Chrysler supplier park

摘要

CHRYSLER Group and Magna International have announced plans to collaborate on a unique supplier park project in Toledo, Ohio. The supplier, through its Magna Steyr operations, will manage and operate the paint shop facility at Chrysler Group's new Toledo South assembly plant. Chrysler's Toledo plant is expected to start production of the 2007 Jeep Wrangler in the third quarter of 2006. In addition to Magna, two other supplier partners will manage and operate major parts of the vehicle production process from facilities within the Toledo South plant. While Magna Steyr runs the paint shop, the Kuka Group is to build bodies for the 2007 Jeep Wrangler while the Hyundai Mobisowned Ohio Module Manufacturing Company (OMMC) assembles the vehicles' chassis.
