08/09/2024
Mobility technology company and an automotive supplier Magna plans to establish manufacturing operations in Mesa, Arizona. The project is expected to create hundreds of jobs.

The new 230,000 square-foot facility will be located at Power Industrial Park.

“The collaboration we have already experienced with the local community has been exceptional,” said Eric Wilds, Magna Chief Sales and Marketing Officer. “With a diverse and rich talent base, we are able to meet our commitment to drive innovation and deliver value to our customers.”

Magna International Inc. is a Canadian parts manufacturer for automakers. The company is the largest automobile parts manufacturer in North America by sales of original equipment parts.

“Magna’s decision to locate its new manufacturing facility in Mesa demonstrates Arizona's attractiveness for the automotive industry,” noted Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA). “We are so grateful for Magna’s commitment to Arizona and look forward to supporting their growth as part of our thriving mobility ecosystem.”

“Magna’s arrival in Mesa bolsters an already adept regional ecosystem,” added Chris Camacho, President and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “As Greater Phoenix continues to drive clean technology innovation at a national scale, Magna’s new facility will allow for more expansive growth in the emerging automotive sector.”
