Transition to Owned Facility Strengthens Nexteer’s Operational Foundation in Suzhou<\/i><\/p>\n

SUZHOU, China<\/span><\/span>, Nov. 17, 2025<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Nexteer Automotive today broke ground on its APAC Smart Manufacturing Project in Suzhou Industrial Park, an initiative designed to advance the company’s smart manufacturing capabilities and long-term operational agility. Following the signing of the memorandum of understanding in September, this next phase marks steady progress toward a more integrated and efficient production footprint. The project demonstrates Nexteer’s ongoing commitment to innovation, quality and sustainable development within China<\/span> and across the Asia Pacific<\/span> region in support of Chinese and global OEM customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

The project spans a total of 10 hectares with a planned developed area of approximately 70,000 square meters. It will strictly adhere to “Intelligent + Green” principles and be developed into a green factory designed to meet international LEED Platinum certification standards.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During construction, Nexteer will apply advanced digital tools, including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and panoramic monitoring, to ensure transparent and efficient project management. Once operational, the Suzhou location will feature a smart campus powered by digital twin technology, enabling real-time coordination between physical and digital systems. The new facility will integrate full-process automation, AI-driven insights and flexible production lines to deliver next-generation manufacturing excellence.<\/p>\n

Upon completion, the facility will significantly enhance production, organizational efficiency, lean manufacturing, and rapid market response while also consolidating Nexteer’s currently leased operations into this advanced, self-owned facility. This move will optimize production systems for high-demand products such as Electric Power Steering and Steer-by-Wire systems, ensuring agility and responsiveness to customer needs.<\/p>\n

“Since Nexteer signed the MoU just two months ago, we’ve advanced our smart manufacturing project with strong momentum leading to today’s groundbreaking,” Jun Li<\/span>, Nexteer’s Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer and APAC President, said. “By focusing on automation, intelligence and flexibility, we’re transforming our Suzhou operations into a benchmark for ‘New Quality Productive Forces’. Through smart innovation, we will maintain top-tier quality while elevating efficiency and sustainability as critical enablers to our customers’ success.”<\/p>\n

The Asia-Pacific Smart Manufacturing Headquarters is targeting completion in late 2026. Once completed, the project will consolidate and optimize Nexteer’s Suzhou production into a single advanced location enhancing efficiency, flexibility and customer responsiveness.<\/p>\n

The project will further support Nexteer’s existing strong growth momentum and contribute substantially to the automotive industry upgrade in Suzhou and the broader Yangtze River Delta region.<\/p>\n
