Title: HMMC Nosovice celebrates 80,000 cars, plan second production hall
Post by: Lorian on September 27, 2009, 20:37:30

Since opening earlier in the year, the Czech factory has just celebrated building it's 80,000 car. The target is 160,000 by the end of the year.

From April 2010 they plan to have opened a second production hall employing around 250 people and adding capacity to build 300,000 transmissions annually.

I'm guessing these will be more of the new modular 6 speed manual, maybe for export to Korea for cars built there.

They are now considering a 3rd shift to start working in 2011.
