Hanon Systems announced plans to launch a new U.S. manufacturing facility to support its growing business with global vehicle manufacturers. Located in northwest Ohio, the newly-leased facility is in the village of Carey, in Wyandot County, which is approximately 70 miles (112 kilometers) from the Michigan border. The facility includes approximately 95,000 square feet (approximately 8,825 square meters) of manufacturing space, with room for expansion based on business needs.

Initially, the facility will injection mold and assemble innovative and eco-friendly heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) modules on a range of future model year vehicles for various global automakers. At full production, the company expects to employ nearly 140 hourly and salaried employees. Production at the Ohio facility is expected to begin in mid-2017.
