The company currently makes more than 20 million airbags annually in Romania, in Lugoj and Resita, with more than 3,400 employees involved in the processes of siliconizing, cutting and assembling these automotive safety systems. The Lugoj factory has an area of over 25,000 square meters and more than 2,500 employees.
The amount is intended for the construction of a new production facility, with an area of over 15,000 square meters, where new equipment will be installed to manufacture the raw material from which the airbag is made
Part of this amount (RON51 million) comes as state aid, granted under the scheme regulated by Government Decision 807/2014 for the establishment of state aid schemes, aimed at stimulating investments with a major impact on the economy.
By expanding production capacity, Autoliv will create more than 300 new jobs.
