Propelled by growing
demand in the rapidly expanding Brazilian automotive market, BorgWarner will
build a new larger production facility and engineering center in Itatiba
City, Brazil (about 70 km northwest of Sao Paulo). The new
204,500-square-foot (19,000-square-meter) facility will replace the current
plant in Campinas and is expected to be completed in August 2012. The
relocation of production capacity will allow BorgWarner to optimally serve
customers with various fuel-efficient technologies, including turbochargers
for passenger cars and commercial vehicles, and viscous fans and fan drives.
In the future, the facility will be ready to support production for variable
camshaft timing (
) technology and engine timing systems.
"Increasing demand for our fuel-efficient technologies is driving
significant growth for BorgWarner's business, especially in the rapidly
expanding Brazilian market where the government is adopting new emissions
regulations similar to Euro V standards," said Timothy M. Manganello,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, BorgWarner. "The new campus in Brazil
fits BorgWarner's global growth strategy and underscores our focus on
providing technology solutions aimed at improving fuel economy and reducing
emissions. With our new facility, we will be able to expand existing product
lines and introduce new technologies and products to growing markets in
South America."
BorgWarner entered the Brazilian market with its facility in Campinas in
1975.
