AURORA, ON, Aug. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Magna Exteriors and Interiors, an
operating unit of Magna International Inc., announced today that it has
expanded its footprint in China by forming a joint venture to purchase
an existing injection molding and painting facility located in Wuhu, a
city in the Anhui province of southeastern China.
The three-party joint venture, called MCC Wuhu Exteriors, consists of
Magna Exteriors and Interiors (51%), CAIP (Changshu Automotive Trim
