Fuyao Global founded an automotive glass manufacturing complex in Moraine in 2014, an operation that in normal times employs about 2,300 workers. But the plant has been mostly shut down since late March, along with most of the American auto industry, which the Moraine plant supplies.
According to the report, Fuyao Glass America saw a net profit of just over $9.7 million in 2019, down from a net profit of $24.5 million that FGA recorded in 2018.
