kc-GM-Fairfax-Assembly (2) General Motors has poured capital into its Kansas City manufacturing plants, and this has helped fuel the expansion of auto suppliers in the region.

KANSAS CITY—After hitting a post-recession high in 2014, US auto sales have declined, but manufacturers still need new facilities to meet demand. And the Kansas City metro area, the nation’s second largest auto manufacturing hub, is getting its share.

Faurecia, a leading automotive technology company, will build a new $60 million, 250,000-square-foot interiors production facility in Blue Springs, MO, a Kansas City suburb, according to the Kansas City Area Development Council. The company, a global leader in developing automotive seating, interior systems and clean mobility, will create 300 new jobs.
