Xinhua reported that after more than 20 years of sales operation and research and development in Southern California, Chinese ball bearing supplier CW Bearing moved to suburban Detroit, the historic heart of the American automotive industry, to build its US headquarters and manufacturing facility.
It''s the latest example of Chinese companies increasing investment in the US Midwest to upgrade their manufacturing capabilities to better serve American customers, create new jobs and help revive the rust-belt region.
With initial investment of around 20 million U.S. dollars, the CW Bearing manufacturing facility, opened Friday in Northville Township, west of Detroit, will supply ball bearings for the electronic power steering (EPS) system of a wide range of vehicles, including the most popular SUVs and pickup trucks such as the Ford F-150 pickups.
The company plans to further expand the manufacturing facility with the second-phase investment of 20 million dollars and bring a total of 125 new jobs to the local community over the next five years, Hu Lirong, president and CEO of CW Bearing USA Inc., told Xinhua in a recent interview.
With the capacity and capabilities of designing, testing, engineering and assembling in the new manufacturing facility, the company aims to sell 500 million bearings in North America by 2025, Hu said.
As the product lines are almost automated, the new jobs to be created by CW Bearing are mainly technicians and engineers that know how to fix machines. The company has hired around 50 local employees and collaborated with the University of Michigan in research and internship programs, according to Hu.
