Swedish manufacturer of automotive safety systems Autoliv, Inc. has expanded its operations in Turkey with the recent opening of two new manufacturing facilities.

The first plant, in the Taysad Industrial Zone in Gebze outside Istanbul, will have the capacity to produce one million steering wheels per year, when it is fully utilised. This corresponds to approximately one-fifth of Autoliv's existing European steering wheel capacity. The new plant will produce both leather-wrapped and polyurethane-foamed steering wheels.
