Aisin USA Manufacturing in Seymour, Indiana, has plans to invest more than $31 million at both its Seymour plants over the next two years.
Company representatives attended the May 8th Seymour City Council meeting to request tax abatement on the investment which will include both real estate improvements and new manufacturing equipment to produce automotive components for new and existing vehicle models.
Jim Plump, executive director of Jackson County Industrial Development Corporation, said Aisin is projecting an increase in its workforce of 76 employees at Plant 1, and 9 new jobs at Plant 2.
The investment will allow Aisin to accommodate for changes in customer designs and new models including Toyota’s Sienna, Camry, Highlander, Corolla and Avalon lines, the Honda Odyssey and Chevrolet and Lexus models.
