... vehicle accessories by creating an additional production operation at its Dandenong, Victoria plant.
The plan effectively involves the repatriation, in Australia, of some overseas supplier metal fabrication jobs.
Nissan has taken the decision to create a local manufacturing facility for its tow bars, and later sportbars and nudge bars, in order to establish a strong foundation for its business growth plans.
The decision to repatriate fabrication of 30,000 tow bars, for Nissan's range of 4WD and passenger vehicles, returns the business to Dandenong from Asia and will sustain 20 full time jobs at the Nissan Casting Plant (NCAP).
Nissan previously sourced its tow bars from a local supplier which then outsourced production to Asian factories.
Nissan has retooled part of its Dandenong casting facility to make room for the new accessory fabrication business investing $4m in the plant.
Once tow bar manufacture is fully integrated, Nissan will add 4WD sportbar and utility nudge bar production.
A feature of the new, Australian manufacturing process at Nissan will be the optimization of robotics for the polishing and finish of these popular accessories.
