06:42 AM EST, 11/19/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Magna (MG.TO, MGA), one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, late on Tuesday said it has opened a new facility in the Jiujiang Economic Development Zone in Wuhu, China, in an effort to strengthen its presence in the country.

The 160,000-square-foot facility is expected to support the growing demand of electric drive systems and is positioned to serve additional automakers in the future.

The facility will manufacture Magna's eDrive systems, which provide electric propulsion with a scalable architecture for a wide range of battery electric vehicles.

In 2024, the company recorded $5.6 billion in sales in the Chinese market, 60% of which came from Chinese original equipment manufacturers.

"Wuhu offers a strong industrial foundation and an environment conducive to innovation. We are excited to bring our world-class electric drive technologies closer to Chery and other partners in China," said Diba Ilunga, president of Magna Powertrain.
