OPmobility, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine and JobsOhio announced the construction of a new manufacturing plant in the greater Toledo area of Ohio, USA. This new facility in Wood County, its first dedicated to Exterior solutions in the Midwest, marks a new milestone in the Group?s expansion in North America. Start of production of the plant is planned in the second half of 2027.

The new plant, located in the heart of the Midwest, will provide OPmobility a strategic position in a region, which represents more than 40% of the U.S. automotive production. Its strategic location near major transportation routes will enhance the site?s logistics efficiency. The plant is designed with flexibility and expansion in mind to accommodate OPmobility?s diverse portfolio of products.

It will incorporate next-generation manufacturing technologies, including advanced injection molding and a high-efficiency double-sided paint line. OPmobility will also deploy its latest automation and digital manufacturing solutions to optimize production flows, traceability, and global operational excellence. The plant is expected to create more than 500 jobs across production, logistics, engineering, and support functions, establishing OPmobility?s long-term presence in Ohio and contributing to local economic development.

The project was approved for a tax credit by the State of Ohio?s Tax Credit Authority. JobsOhio, the state?s private economic development corporation, also plans to provide assistance for the project, which will be made public after a final agreement is executed. The new Toledo facility strengthens OPmobility?s footprint in the U.S., where the Group already operates 11 plants and 6 R&D centers with nearly 3,300 employees.

In October 2025, OPmobility inaugurated its North American headquarters in Troy, Michigan, reaffirming its ambition to double U.S. sales by 2030. OPmobility has been operating in North America since 1977.
