Hyundai Mobis starts production at headlamp plant

SEOUL, May 26 (Yonhap) -- Hyundai Mobis Co., South Korea's largest auto-parts
maker, said Tuesday it has kicked off production at its new headlamp plant.

Hyundai Mobis spent 70 billion won (US$55.5 million) to complete the plant in the
city of Gimcheon, 234 kilometers southeast of Seoul, the company said in a
statement.
With the new plant, Hyundai Mobis aims to generate 150 billion won in sales of
headlamps in 2012, according to the statement.
Last month, Hyundai Mobis announced an alliance with Samsung LED Co., a unit of
Samsung Group, to jointly develop headlamps using light-emitting diodes as a
light source.
