New life for Ohio's old GM plant

When Fuyao Glass Industry Group considered building its first U.S. manufacturing site in 2013, the Chinese auto supplier concluded it would not be able to build a greenfield site and scale up as quickly as it had done in Russia and China. Instead, the company opted to tailor its manufacturing operations into an existing site, something it had never attempted before, says Kristi Tanner, senior managing director for automotive at Jobs Ohio, a private non-profit company that drives investment in Ohio.
