Invest in New Airbag Cushion Plant
In order to better serve Asia, Autoliv, Inc., the market leader in automotive safety systems, today announced plans to construct a brand-new, cutting-edge airbag cushion and fabric plant in Vietnam.
In response to customer requests, a new textile facility has been invested in with the goal of expanding future airbag production requirements for the expanding Asian market.
The new facility will be constructed in Vietnam's northern Amata City Ha Long Industrial Park. By incorporating new technologies into the operations, the facility will use Manufacturing 4.0 concepts to demonstrate Autoliv's manufacturing capabilities. The first Autoliv investment in Vietnam is this one.
"I am excited to open our first Autoliv facility in Vietnam. We continuously look for ways to improve our footprint and reduce our costs structurally, and the new plant will complement our existing footprint in Southeast Asia. With the significant growth in demand for our restraint system products in Asia, Autoliv Vietnam will play an increasingly important role in meeting our customer demands," said Colin Naughton, President Autoliv Asia.
By the end of 2025, the new production facility is anticipated to start producing airbag cushions for our airbag module assembly facilities in Asia on a site that will be about 90,000 square meters in size. The facility has a maximum capacity of 2,000 workers when it is fully operational.
