Nexteer Expands Brazil Footprint with New Camaçari Facility Supporting BYD Production
CAMAÇARI, BR / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2026 / Nexteer Automotive today announced the opening of its new assembly facility in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. The facility, which began production in early October 2026, expands the Company's manufacturing footprint in South America and strengthens its presence across Brazil, complementing Nexteer's main plant in Porto Alegre in the south and its Porto Real facility in Rio de Janeiro with this new Camaçari location in the northeast. The new facility supports BYD's growing vehicle production operations in Brazil.
Located approximately 10 kilometers from BYD's manufacturing operations in Camaçari, the new facility will assemble Column-Assist Electric Power Steering (CEPS) systems for vehicles produced in Brazil. The investment enhances supply chain responsiveness and operational efficiency while providing localized support for BYD's vehicle production in the region.
"The opening of our Camaçari facility marks an important milestone in Nexteer's continued commitment to supporting customers through localized manufacturing and supply," said Jeferson Oliveira, Country Director - Brazil, Nexteer Automotive. "By locating this facility near BYD's operations in Camaçari, we can enhance supply chain efficiency, improve responsiveness and strengthen collaboration while delivering the high-quality steering solutions our customers expect."
The operation will perform final assembly and logistics activities while leveraging components and subassemblies produced through Nexteer's global manufacturing network. This approach combines the advantages of local production with Nexteer's worldwide engineering, manufacturing and quality expertise.
"Brazil is an important market for both vehicle production and Nexteer's long-term growth strategy," said Alberto Rodriguez, Vice President and EMEASA Divisional President, Nexteer Automotive. "This investment reflects our commitment to supporting customers through localized manufacturing while contributing to the continued development of Brazil's automotive industry."
"The development of a localized supplier network is an important component of vehicle production in Brazil," said Zheng Qiong, Director of Purchasing, BYD Brazil. "Nexteer's new operation in Camaçari will support our manufacturing activities in the region, and we appreciate their investment and collaboration."
