So, my Son and I are big fans of the TV series "how its made".

We record a lot of them on our DVR. They are also on Netflix.

Anyhow, watching an episode on how "automobile seats are made".. I'm looking at the seat design and realize they are 2nd Gen Mini seats in production!

Season 10: 2007–2008 - ep 123 - , - "Wooden Barrels, Fire Hydrants, Automotive Seats, and Cathode Ray Tubes".

Further investigation shows that the factory is Faurecia

"(pronounced "four-see'-uh) is one of the largest international automotive parts manufacturers in the world.[1] It produces 6 types of car modules: seats, cockpits, doors, acoustic packages, front end and exhaust. Faurecia's customers include the Volkswagen group, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault-Nissan, Ford, General Motors, BMW, Daimler, Fiat/Chrysler, Toyota and Hyundai-Kia among others. Headquartered in Nanterre, France, Faurecia operates over 238 production sites and 38 R&D centers in 33 countries worldwide. About half of these sites are manufacturing plants operating on the just-in-time principle. Faurecia joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2004. French car manufacturer PSA Peugeot Citroën is Faurecia's controlling shareholder, holding around 57.4% stake."
