Remy and Delco Remy are the leading brand choices of manufacturers and companies associated with the global automotive, small-engine, commercial truck, industrial, agricultural, construction, marine and hybrid systems markets.

"This new regional customer and technical center and its highly skilled team will help significantly enhance our customer engineering and related support as we develop and launch next generation products globally and in the Asian marketplace," said Rick Huibregtse, vice president, engineering, for Remy.

Scheduled to open in mid-2005, the new facility will include a broad range of on-site engineering, purchasing, supplier development and product testing operations.
