Kia Motors Corp plans to break ground soon on a new plant in Mexico, two sources familiar with the matter said, a further sign that the company and its affiliate, Hyundai Motor Co, are easing an unofficial moratorium on capacity growth.
The plant, to be built in Monterrey, will have a capacity of 300,000 vehicles and initially produce two small cars, one of the sources told Reuters. The facility would help meet demand in the United States, where Kia's lone plant runs at full speed.
The sources declined to be identified because the plans are not yet public . . .
