Faurecia Moves Into Top 10 North American Automotive Suppliers

"As Faurecia's name has become known in North America, our reputation for innovation and quality has grown as well," said Mike Heneka, president of Faurecia North America. "We take pride in partnering with automakers to develop products that enhance quality, comfort, convenience, safety, fuel economy and cost savings."

In North America, the tier-one supplier of automotive seating, emissions control technologies, interior systems and automotive exteriors has diversified its customer base with domestic and transplant automakers both organically and through its acquisition of EMCON Technologies in 2010. It also has continued its expansion in the Southeast U.S. Since 2009, Faurecia has announced:

Construction of a new facility in Cottondale, Ala., to produce complete seats for Mercedes-Benz. Acquisition of a plant based in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce various interior components for the Nissan Armada, Frontier and Xterra, as well as some automotive exterior parts for Nissan. Production of exhaust systems for the Volkswagen Passat from a new facility within the Volkswagen supplier park in Chattanooga, Tenn. A new facility in Louisville, Ky., to manufacture, assemble and sequence vehicle interior systems and components for Ford. Acquisition of a Madison, Miss.-based plant to produce complete seats for the Nissan Altima, Armada, Titan and all-new NV.

"Faurecia's activity in North America is strategically aligned with the intention to continue expanding relationships with our customers and our operations throughout the region," Heneka said. "We are optimistic about the potential offered by our recent success as we constantly seek out innovation; demonstrate respect for our talented people; and earn praise for our products, quality and partnerships."

The level of achievement for which Faurecia has been recognized by customers, partners and its workforce is founded in the Faurecia Excellence System (FES), which is employed across all aspects of Faurecia's operations. FES drives all of Faurecia's businesses and functional areas, from research and development to production, sales and corporate functions. It ensures continuous improvement in quality, cost and delivery in every stage of the manufacturing process, while providing a sound and efficient work environment for employees.

Good Year Wranger Authority A/T 15k mile Review - Nissan Frontier ...

I now have almost 15k miles on my 265/75/16 Good Year Wranger Authority A/Ts from Wal Mart. I can say that I have been very pleased with these tires from a wear standpoint. They still have very little noticable wear and all wear is really even. I'm guessing I'll be able to get 40-50k miles out of them. I have rotated them every 3-4k miles. The noise is still noticable, but not any worse than when they were new. My only complaint is they are really hard to balance. I finally got a good balance from Discount Tire and they ride pretty good on the highway now, but this is the first good balance I been able to get. As far as traction, you can't beat them in the mud and snow. They handle well on dry and wet pavement as well. I use my truck for mostly highway driving, but I have had a couple of occasions to get in some pretty muddy situations and these tires got me through easily. My old stockers got me through the same spots, but not after several questionable moments. These tires give me confidence in the mud when I'm far from anyone who could help. I would recommend them if you need good mud traction.
