Located in Chesterfield County, Virginia is Mazda North America’s Rotary Engine Remanufacturing facility which has been in operation since 2008. Along side the engine line will now be an all-new Automatic Transmission Remanufacturing line as Mazda held its grand opening not too long ago. The new line is made possible due to a $2.3 million investment into the Chesterfield County facility by Mazda themselves.
“Mazda is thrilled with its location in Chesterfield County, it has enabled us to effectively serve our desired distribution area,” said Mazda’s Vice President of Customer Service, Yasuo Kunita. The transmission line will add 21 full-time jobs to Chesterfeild. It will be responsible for the disassembly and remanufacture of the automatic found in both the Mazda 3 and Mazda 5. The estimated annual volume for the Automatic Transmission Remanufacturing line will be 3,000 units.
