Cooper Standard Auto Parts Business Unit will be able to attack and retreat in China


In recent years, the import volume of Chinese rubber belt products has continuously increased. Cooper's Standard Auto Parts Business Unit under Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. believes that although Cooper Auto Parts has established a seal joint venture in China, Cooper Auto Parts hopes to at least use infusion hoses and anti-noise and anti-vibration hard rubber products ( NVH) makes a difference in these two important product areas. According to Allen Campbell, the deputy manager in charge of Asian operations, the number of imported infusion hoses and NVHs in China is increasing day by day, so it is necessary for Cooper Steam Equipment to set up factories in China to produce these products. Cooper Auto Parts has been looking for partners, while making a joint venture or a sole proprietorship decision. Cooper Auto Parts believes that transferring the production base to China is the best of both worlds in terms of “advance and retreat”. The so-called "attack" is to provide services for the growing local market. "Shou" is to send some products back to the United States from China. Cooper Auto Parts plans to set up a wholly-owned company near Chongqing Ford Motor Co., Ltd. to produce part of the infusion hose originally imported from India. Campbell said: "We will not only do business in the United States and European markets. We will pursue more of the Chinese market."
