Britain's Laird PLC has opened a new telematics plant in Shanghai to meet the growing demand for connectivity from automakers.
The $5 million plant is designed to produce 20 million vehicle antennas and other telematics components each year, said Laird CEO David Lockwood at the facility's opening ceremony on Oct 15.
Some 80 percent of the plant's products will be exported while the rest are to be sold on the Chinese market, said Barry Shen, general manager of the new plant.
