Magna Electronics is rapidly expanding production of its made-in-U.S.A. onboard cameras to keep pace with booming OEM demand for safety and vehicle-autonomy vision systems technology.
Near the small Michigan town of Holly (pop. 6300) an hour north of Detroit, the Magna Electronics complex has quietly become a goliath within the automotive sensor industry.
Output of tiny and complex CMOS rearview cameras in Holly, currently the sole U.S. source for these increasingly vital optical components, has nearly doubled since 2014, when the facility-two plants totaling 130,000-ft2-shipped its milestone 10-millionth rearview camera to one of 47 customer locations. Since then, the Magna Holly operation has grown like the Incredible Hulk.
