When Chinese leading automobile glass manufacturer Fuyao took over the site of former General Motors facility five years ago in Dayton, Ohio, local community cheered at the possible boost it could add to the rust belt city's revitalization efforts. In 2014, Fuyao acquired a former facility of General Motors in Moraine, a city in Ohio state, and turned the venue which was shut down amid the 2008 financial crisis into a 2-million-square-feet glass manufacturing plant with a total investment of over 600 million U.S. dollars. The investment has brought a great many job opportunities to Dayton and areas nearby. The plant now employs more than 2,300 people, the vast majority of whom are locally hired, including those who were laid off when General Motors closed its facility. Aside from job opportunities it brought, Fuyao has been actively serving the local community. It has established Fuyao Glass America Hardship Fund to help workers in need and regularly interacts with local residents, donates to the local hospitals, public schools and local disaster relief organizations, with assistance of Heren Charitable Foundation U.S.A. launched by Fuyao Chairman Cao Dewang in 2017.
