Magna has opened an aluminium casting facility in Telford, England, which will supply structural castings to carmaker Jaguar Land Rover. The new 225,000 square feet plant will employ around 300 people.

The plant will use Magna’s patented vacuum die-casting process. The advanced lightweight aluminium castings help maximize strength and stiffness and minimize weight, which improves fuel economy, safety and handling. As electrified and hybrid powertrains become more common in the automotive industry, high-pressure aluminium castings can be a key factor in reducing overall vehicle weight.
