OPmobility, a provider of sustainable mobility solutions and supplier to major automotive companies, announced plans to establish a facility in Riverside, Mo., near Kansas City. The French company expects the project to create more than 100 jobs.
The new 213,000-square-foot leased site in Riverside looks to grow OPmobility’s North American manufacturing footprint and strengthen its ability to serve customers across the Midwest and broader U.S. market.
“This investment marks an important step in the continued growth of OPmobility’s operations in North America,” OPmobility Executive Vice President Christophe Marceau said. “By establishing this new facility in Riverside, we will strengthen our ability to serve our customers with greater proximity and responsiveness, while creating more than 100 jobs in the Kansas City region.”
OPmobility develops and manufactures solutions across the mobility value chain, including vehicle exterior and lighting systems, complex modules, energy storage and battery and hydrogen electrification.
The Missouri Works Program will support the project with approximately $2.1 million in funding, subject to verification of program requirements. The company may also receive assistance from Missouri One Start, a division of the Department of Economic Development.
The Kansas City region features multiple major manufacturers, including Ford, General Motors and Goodyear, as well as over 100 automotive suppliers.
