KYB expands in Europe with additional new factory

KYB Corporation, the world’s largest original equipment (OE) supplier of shock absorbers, has expanded its position as a global manufacturer by opening a new factory at Pardubice in the Czech Republic. A new company - KYB Manufacturing Czech, s.r.o (KMCZ) - has also been established.

The new factory has already started production and employs over 200 personnel. Using state of the art technology, the plant will manufacture automotive shock absorbers for the original equipment market, and further strengthens KYB’s presence in Europe - complementing its manufacturing facility near Pamplona in northern Spain.

KYB has expanded its global reach in recent years with extensive new facilities to establish KYB as a leading automotive component brand in Europe, both in the aftermarket and OE.
