AUBURN HILLS, Mich.,
Aug. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- BorgWarner celebrated its plant opening in Oroszlany,
Hungary, on July 28, 2015. Numerous government officials as
well as customers, BorgWarner executives and employees attended the
opening ceremony. The wholly-owned campus provides production
capacity (43,400 square feet / 4,032 square meters) for advanced
all-wheel drive (AWD) solutions such as transfer cases, feeder
pumps, valves and AWD couplings for global automakers.
"We are proud to strengthen our product leadership position and
expand our local portfolio with AWD technologies by investing in
our strategically important location in Hungary. Over the next few years, our plant
will provide capacities that will allow us to meet growing customer
demand with localized production," said Dr. Stefan Demmerle, President and General Manager,
BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems. "BorgWarner's market-leading AWD
solutions contribute to enhanced vehicle traction, improved driving
dynamics and better fuel economy."
BorgWarner has been manufacturing innovative technologies in
Hungary for over a decade. Located
76 kilometers outside of Budapest,
the Oroszlany campus already produces state-of-the-art
turbochargers for gasoline and diesel engines. The energy-efficient
facility uses waste heat from air compressors and furnaces and will
recycle rainwater for watering lawns as well as condensation
wastewater. Additionally, the building uses linear fluorescent
lamps (LFLs) in most of the production and office areas, and
compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) in the remaining facility to
reduce energy consumption.
