Complexity meets coordination at Magna Europe

MAgna 1.2

Magna Logistics Europe has increasingly taken a more integrated approach to engineering logistics across the tier supplier’s massive European network, including rolling out IT tools and concepts developed at contract manufacturing unit, Magna Steyr

As well as buyouts, Magna has reflected the changing shape of the automotive sector with new locations in eastern Europe, where the company now has 36 plants, including five in Russia. Across Europe, Russia and South Africa, Magna has grown from having 69 plants in 2005 to 124 today.  

Magna’s European supply chain evidences this evolution, including a strong powertrain and component base in central Europe, as well as a sweeping network mirroring carmakers’ global platform and module production strategies, with supply locations from Puebla, Mexico to Russian industrial centres like Nizhny Novgorod and in Changchun, China.
