As reported by InAutoNews and Business Review (Romania), Yazaki has opened a new EUR 4 million production facility in Caracal, Romania, where the wiring harness provider will supply cabling systems for the automotive industry.
Starting early next year, Yazaki will reportedly supply cabling systems for the Ford B-Max, which is being produced at the Craiova plant. The new plant will reportedly be the main supplier for Ford's automotive production operation in Craiova, and will also produce for external units of the American manufacturer.

"The extension of the production operations through the opening of the new factory in Caracal will allow us to continue the strategic partnership with Ford. Also, we will add more jobs to the 5000 existing ones," commented Jorge Damasceno, General Director of Yazaki Romania.
The presence of automakers Ford and Renault within the country will make Romania more attractive for investors of related industries, added Damasceno.
Yazaki has been present in Romania since 2003, investing EUR 89 million since that time. The company already has 600 employees in the country; in the second quarter of 2012, it will reportedly hire another 400-500 to work at the 5.000 square meter Craiova plant.
