More on Magna International
Description from Wikipedia:
Magna International Inc. () is a Canadian company based in Aurora, Ontario. It is Canada's largest automobile parts manufacturer, and one of the country's largest companies. It owns the successful Magna Steyr automobile production company of Austria.
The company was founded in 1957 by the Austrian-born Frank Stronach as Multimatic. This company merged with Magna Electronics in 1969, and the combined company became Magna International in 1973.
On May 30, 2009, it was announced that a deal had been reached to transfer General Motors Corporation (GM)-owned Opel and Vauxhall assets to a separate company majority-owned by a consortium led by Magna International. Subsequently, however, the deal was placed in limbo as GM declared opposition to it while the German government supported it.
Magna also manufactures auto parts that are primarily supplied to GM, Ford Motor Company, and Chrysler LLC. In addition to the Big 3 U.S. automakers, Magna's major customers include Volkswagen, BMW and Toyota. In Europe, Magna Steyr holds contracts for the assembly of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chrysler Voyager minivan and BMW X3 SUV. Magna has a relatively minimal presence in Asia with just 3 manufacturing centres in South Korea, 1 in Kunshan, China and 2 engineering centres in South Korea and China.\
