Autoneum Chery Vehicle Program Awards Expand China Production Network

Autoneum Expands Production Capacity Through Chery Vehicle Programs

Autoneum Chery Vehicle Program Awards mark a significant expansion of Autoneum’s manufacturing footprint in China through new production facilities in Anhui province. Autoneum Holding Ltd has secured multiple vehicle program awards from Chery and is developing two new plants to support upcoming vehicle programs. The investment strengthens the company’s local-for-local production strategy by improving regional manufacturing capabilities and enabling closer support for customers across China’s growing automotive market.

The new Wuhu production plant will cover 20,000 square meters, while the Anqing facility will cover 5,000 square meters. Both facilities are scheduled to begin production in the second half of 2026 and will employ around 400 people in total. The plants will manufacture interior and acoustic components for multiple vehicle programs, including carpets, inner dashes, outer dashes and e-motor encapsulations supplied for recently awarded programs from Chinese automotive manufacturers.

New Anhui Plants Support Local Automotive Component Manufacturing

The expansion into Anhui province allows Autoneum to enhance its ability to serve both existing and future customers through a strengthened production network. By increasing local manufacturing capacity in China, the company aims to improve supply chain efficiency, reduce dependency on distant production locations and provide dedicated support for vehicle manufacturers. The new facilities represent an important step in expanding Autoneum’s presence in the Chinese automotive ecosystem while supporting evolving vehicle technology requirements.

Autoneum’s production focus includes components designed for acoustic performance, interior comfort and electric vehicle applications. The inclusion of e-motor encapsulations highlights the company’s efforts to address changing vehicle architectures and increasing electrification trends. Through these investments, Autoneum is positioning its manufacturing operations to support future vehicle platforms and customer requirements while maintaining a flexible regional production approach.
