Dura Automotive Systems, Inc. is a leading worldwide designer and manufacturer of driver control systems, seating control systems, glass systems, engineered assemblies and door and exterior trim components for the automotive and mass transit markets.

The Stockton facility has been in existence since 1950 and manufactures seating control systems (seat tracks and recliner assemblies) with our main customers being Johnson Controls and Lear Corporation who make the complete automotive seats.

Dura-Stockton will build, assemble and ship out more than 4,300,000 final assemblies in 2010 and will maintain the highest level of customer quality standards. The three shift operation is one of the largest employers of Jo Davies County with currently 320 employees working in jobs ranging from entry level assembler assignments to specialized jobs such as roll-mill operator, metal stamping press operator and welders.
