Faurecia has announced a new just-in-time component assembly plant in Brussels, Belgium, inside an Audi factory.
The 9,000sq m site actually started production in January: it supplies complete front and rear bumpers as well as front end modules for the automaker’s S1 and S1 Sportback (saloon).
A Faurecia plant in Germany handles injection moulding and painting of the bumpers plus front-end module moulding; the components are then shipped to Brussels for final processing, assembly and delivery.
