Fuyao Glass Industry Group Co. paid $15 million for 1.4 million square feet for the former auto plant and
plans a $200 million investment.
The company will start production next summer. Fuyao has said the facility is poised to become its
largest plant and possibly the heart of its U.S. research and development center.
