Hansae Mobility opens Uzbekistan plant to expand Central Asian reach

Hansae Mobility completed a new automotive parts plant in Quvasoy, Uzbekistan, operated by its Turan subsidiary, aiming to speed parts delivery to Uzbek customers and support growth across Central Asia. The facility makes eight steering and braking components for GM Chevrolet models and is part of the company’s broader investment plan to expand production and product lines in the region.

What changed with the new plant

The company opened a 20,000 square meter plant in Quvasoy, Uzbekistan, run by Hansae Mobility Turan. It is designed to supply eight steering and braking components for GM Chevrolet models to UzAuto plants serving models such as Damas, Labo, and Cobalt. The plant represents an expansion of Hansae Mobility’s manufacturing footprint in Central Asia and is accompanied by a multi-year investment plan that includes additional spending to grow production and product lines.

Key facts about the plant and plans

Initial investment: $10 million, with further planned spending of $3 million this year and $12 million next year.
Current staffing: about 100 technicians, with targets to reach 140 by year-end and 250 next year if capacity investments proceed.
Output: eight steering and braking components for GM Chevrolet models.
Patents: Hansae Mobility holds a large portfolio of international and Korean patents.

Who is affected

UzAuto and its assembly plants in Uzbekistan that serve GM Chevrolet models (Damas, Labo, Cobalt) are the primary direct beneficiaries, as they gain faster access to local-produced components. Hansae Mobility’s expansion also affects local suppliers and technicians, with hiring targets increasing in the coming year. The development may influence regional supply chains for Central Asian markets that Hansae aims to serve.

Practical next steps for readers

For industry watchers: monitor Hansae Mobility’s announced investment cadence and any announced expansion of product lines beyond steering and braking components.
For Uzbek suppliers and workers: note the projected staffing increases and potential opportunities tied to the plant’s operation.
For customers of UzAuto: expect more local production capacity and shorter lead times for certain GM Chevrolet parts.
