Ford and Geely JV to run Valencia factory as Centurion buys 34% stake
Ford and Geely’s joint venture will operate Ford’s Valencia factory, with Centurion Industries (Geely-owned) paying Detroit about $259 million for a 34% stake. The move is framed as a shift in Ford’s approach, letting it leverage low-cost structures and faster-to-develop Chinese EV technology while aiding the partners’ expansion in Europe.
