The Automotive Supplier Park (ASP) is managed by the Facilities Department at the AIDC. The ASP is based in Rosslyn and spans an area of 130 hectares, with a tenant pool comprising mainly of component manufacturers and suppliers to OEMs, who require a continuous supply of components to assembly plants.
Due to its locality, automotive component manufacturers, suppliers and service providers benefit from synergies and cost saving opportunities. The AIDC develops factories to tenant requirements on a long-term lease basis. The ASP also offers shared mini-factories for smaller operations and offices for automotive service providers.
