The company plans to extend its CBAM facility by 9,000 square feet, where it will house additional assembly lines to support new business from an existing customer. The current site occupies around 193,000 square feet and manufactures components including stampings, body-in-white modules, closure systems, innovative die, automated systems, and assembly systems. The expansion will allow the company to manufacture front and rear underbody structural rails, assemblies and welding and will be operational by 2022.
??“The expansion of our plant in Lyon Township demonstrates the collaboration with our customer and strengthens our manufacturing presence in Michigan,” said Don Maahs, Global Vice President, Sales & Marketing of Magna’s Body and Chassis division. “We’d like to thank the representatives of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Oakland County, and Lyon Township for their continued support.”????
