Auto supplier Yorozu announces $100 million Alabama plant with 300 jobs
Construction at the Jasper site is expected to begin by January 2016, with completion scheduled for a year later. Production at the new Alabama facility is expected to start in July 2017.
Located along I-22, which connects Memphis and Birmingham, Jasper is seeing the development of an auto supply cluster. HTNA, a Tier 1 supplier that manufactures carpet and interior trim components for Honda, Toyota and other automakers, recently built a new, $27 million production facility at the city’s Bevill Industrial Park. Nitto Denko , another Japanese supplier, supplies Honda from a facility at the same park.
Jasper’s location offers proximity to several auto manufacturers in the region. Honda’s Alabama plant stands 85 miles away, while the Toyota assembly plant near Tupelo, Mississippi, is about 110 miles away on I-22. The Nissan plant in Canton, Mississippi, is 200 miles distant.
