The industrial automation business of Cambridge, Ont.-based ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc. has received an order booking valued at approximately US$167 million (C$231 million) from an undisclosed existing global automotive customer towards expanding the capacity of its automated battery module and pack assembly systems for operations within North America.
The order is part of a previously disclosed multi-phase enterprise program that includes the design, build, and installation of turnkey battery assembly systems. The order is expected to be executed over the next 15 months, ATS officials said.
