OPmobility, a French automotive supplier, announced it is opening a plant in Rossford in late 2027 that will employ more than 500 people.
The facility will be located on Glenwood Road, east of Penta Career Center, and will produce bumpers, grilles, and tailgates for the company’s automotive clients, which include General Motors, Stellantis, and Ford. Rossford Mayor Neil MacKinnon III announced in April that an unnamed company was coming to the location.
The development will create 541 full-time jobs in production, logistics, engineering, and support. OPmobility currently employs 3,300 people across 11 plants and six research and development centers and opened its North American headquarters in Troy, Mich., last year.
According to a news release, the location will place the company near major transportation routes to optimize lead times and reduce the company’s transportation footprint.
Ohio’s Tax Credit Authority approved the project’s tax credit on Monday, citing expectations that the project will produce $40 million in new annual payroll by Dec. 31, 2030. JobsOhio, the state’s private economic development corporation, also plans to provide assistance for the project.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine welcomed the investment in a news release on Monday.
“OPmobility’s new facility in the Toledo region is great news for Northwest Ohio and a strong vote of confidence in our workers, communities, and automotive legacy from a respected global manufacturer,” Gov. DeWine said.
Mr. MacKinnon’s administration worked with the northwest Ohio’s Regional Growth Partnership, JobsOhio, and the Wood County Port Authority to attract the factory to Rossford.
“These new workers will inject fresh, external dollars into Rossford and the surrounding Ohio region. Their paychecks will circulate through our local economy — supporting local diners, grocery stores, and trades — proving that a strong industrial base is the cornerstone of a thriving community,” Mayor MacKinnon said in a news release.
