SMITH APRIL 1989 This is a list of automotive supplier manufacturing or assembly plants located in the United States that are either partially or entirely owned by Japanese companies. The directory was compiled by reviewing industry journals, local newspapers and by contacting various state and local government agencies. This information was then followed up by contacting the plants. To insure accuracy, a second contact was made with each company (unless noted). This is a description of specific fields. Those fields that are self-explanatory (Company name, Phone number, Customers, Products produced, and Number of employees) have been omitted. Contact Plant manager was the position that was asked for, however some companies were unable to give that information. Most of those companies offered similar positions in place of a plant manager. Parent cur~orations In the case of joint ventures, when possible, the percent of each corporation's interest is given. OEMIAtermarket The plants served .either the original equipment market (OEM), the aftermarket, or both the OEM and the aftermarket. Tv~eof o~eratioq The companies in this directory are either manufacturing plants, assembly plants or a combination of the two. Finally, those companies which we were unable to contaci: a second time are noted by an asterisk (* These are companies that we had either contacted or had information confirmed by other sources in the first round, but would not confirm the information in the. second round of contacts Listing of Plants NAME CITY STATE AAP St Mays St Marys OH Aeroqiup Automotive, Inc.

Washington anese Transplant Emplovment Summarv This is a state by state listing of employment figures for the Japanese transplants. The figures are taken from the data reported by the companies. Because some of the companies were unable to release employment figures, this is not an exact total. Also, there are a few plants that are in their start-up phase and will be increasing their number of employees soon. These points, combined with the fact that there are a number of. plants that are scheduled to open in 1989, lead us to believe that these figures are a very conservative estimate of the number of people employed in the components manufacturing and assembly portion of the automotive industry by the transplants.
