AISIN strengthens European presence with new production facilities in the Czech Republic
AISIN CORPORATION today announced the opening of its new manufacturing facility in the Czech Republic, marking a milestone in its European expansion strategy. Located in Písek, the newly constructed extension of the plant increases AISIN’s production capacity and reinforces its commitment to the European market, particularly in response to growing demand for electrification-related products such as electric drive units (eAxle).
Despite recent fluctuations in the momentum behind battery electric vehicles (BEVs), AISIN remains firmly committed to the medium- and long-term transition to BEV technology. This investment reflects AISIN’s proactive approach to ensuring readiness and resilience in a rapidly evolving mobility landscape.

The event was also supported by top executives from AISIN CORPORATION, including Mr. Sahara, Executive Officer and member of the AEMC Board of Directors (Japan), and Mr. Stewart Napier, President of AISIN Europe (Belgium).
