Manufacturer Denso is to create 140 jobs and new production lines after landing contracts with major car producers including BMWs Mini and Jaguar Land Rover.
The car parts manufacturer is ready to start production of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system for the range of Minis made in Oxford.
The firm, based at Telfords Hortonwood Industrial Estate, has won the contract for systems that had previously been made overseas.
It has also landed the right to make a similar system for a new Jaguar Land Rover model, plus new products for Honda and Toyota. It is spending £10 million on equipment and will create 140 jobs over the next 12 months to take its local headcount from 710 to 850.
The contract wins were revealed as part of a visit to the Telford site by the Skills Minister Matthew Hancock, who was looking at a new manufacturing partnership aimed at improving skills.
