MAGNET quickly identified Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research (CAR) as a partner capable of helping Ohio’s auto manufacturing and supply companies become more competitive.
 Operating from state-of-the-art facilities in Columbus, CAR—an interdisciplinary research center in Ohio State’s College of Engineering—is helping shape the future of the auto industry, including smart grid and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. Combined with MAGNET’s expertise in training shop floor and management employees in lean and quality manufacturing practices, companies in Ohio producing for the auto industry now have a single “go to”  Edison Center they can contact for assistance in growing and improving their operations.
