The new plant is Kostal's fourth manufacturing site in Mexico and the first in North America to produce automotive power electronics, including On-Board Chargers (OBC) for electric vehicles.
"This is a significant investment for Kostal and a significant investment in North America to deliver our technology to electric vehicle producers," said company owner Andreas Kostal, in a press release. "We are responding to the rapidly growing market and will be ready to supply integrated energy solutions to our original equipment manufacturer customers and their consumers."
