Where does Ford get their raw materials?

I’m a huge Ford fan, but I recently read an article that many of its raw materials are sourced from overseas. While it doesn’t make a huge difference to me, I still am curious about the production process. Where do Ford’s raw materials come from?

  • Summit Plastics in Nanjing, China: Instrument panel components
  • Dee Zee in Des Moines, Iowa: Running boards
  • Warn Industries in Clackamas, Oregon: Axle assemblies
  • Chaidneme in Bogota, Colombia: Mufflers and exhaust systems
  • Autoliv in Stockholm, Sweden: Airbags
  • Flex-N-Gate Seeburn in Ontario, Canada: Door hinges and arms
  • NHK Spring in Shiga-ken, Japan: Suspension stabilizer linkages
  • U-Shin Europe in Komárom-Esztergom, Hungary: Steering columns
