French auto parts maker Faurecia SA says it's acquiring an interior
components plant in Michigan and creating a joint venture to make parts
at a separate plant in Detroit.
Faurecia
and Rush Group announced Thursday that they're creating Detroit
Manufacturing Systems, a joint venture to build and automotive interior
components in Detroit. The companies say the venture expects to employ
about 500 people in Detroit within the next three years and will make
parts at first for Ford Motor Co.
The Automotive Components
Holdings LLC plant Faurecia is buying is in Saline. It's located 40
miles west of Detroit and makes parts for Ford vehicles.
Ford

A tentative deal to sell the plant was announced in August.
