Production Plants and Joint Ventures in Europe

Brose started large-volume just-in-sequence production and delivery of door systems in Meerane/Saxony in 1997. The first car model to be equipped with these products was the VW Passat.

The JIS plant, which was set up to supply VW in Mosel, was a pioneer of all subsequent Brose Group JIS production sites delivering products in line with the automakers’ own vehicle production schedule. Hallmarks of just-in-sequence production and delivery are lean, process-capable and transparent assembly and logistics processes.

In Meerane we are currently producing door systems for the VW Passat, the VW Passat CC, the VW Golf and the Porsche Panamera. We deliver our products right on the dot to the Mosel and Emden VW plants and to the Porsche plant in Leipzig. In addition, since early 2009 we have been manufacturing cooling fan modules for 17 customers worldwide.
