Autoneum plans foothold in Russian automotive market
ERJ staff report (BC)
Winterthur, Switzerland – Beginning in autumn 2013, Autoneum will be producing acoustic and thermal management components at Ryazan for the Russian automotive market. Ryazan is located about 200 kilometres south-east of Moscow.
The new plant benefits from good connections with the three large automotive clusters in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Togliatti (Samara), says the company. The workforce at the new plant should reach about 200 by 2017.
Autoneum CEO Martin Hirzel said: “The automobile market in Russia has strong growth potential. As a local supplier … we will be in an ideal position to make the most of this potential.”
