Faurecia’s OEM Demand is Up
After the Economic Downturn
THIS WEEK IN PRINT
by Gerald Scott
If supplier prosperity is a measure of overall growth of the Motor City auto
industry, here’s hoping the notable growth that Faurecia North America in Auburn Hills is
enjoying is a harbinger of better days to come for everybody.
That’s because Faurecia, a French auto interiors supplier, is enjoying rapid growth,
having hired over 650 people in Michigan alone last year, indicating that their
OEM customer demand is up again.
Michael Heneka, president, Faurecia North America, discussed his firm’s growth from Faurecia’s headquarters facility on Executive Hills Blvd., which is a technology court
just a stone’s throw from the Pontiac Silverdome
