With record-high optimism at their backs and pro-growth policies coming out of Washington, manufacturers across the country are announcing new investments and expansions at an exciting clip.

Citing tax reform and economic growth, DENSO, a global manufacturer of automotive technology, systems and components suppliers, announced on Wednesday that it plans to invest $190 million in its facility in Athens, Tennessee:

DENSO, one of the world’s largest automotive technology, systems and components suppliers, is expanding its operations in North America through a $190 million investment in its Athens, Tennessee, facility. The investment will add four new production lines and 320 jobs, increasing DENSO’s ability to produce and deliver key parts for its customers. This is the latest in a line of strategic investments in North America and part of DENSO’s commitment to make Tennessee a primary manufacturing center. The U.S. economy is expected to keep growing due to policies, including recent tax reform, and DENSO plans to continue advancing automotive innovation and manufacturing in the U.S.

In the United States alone, DENSO employs more than 17,000 people in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. DENSO announced a $1 billion investment in its Maryville, Tennessee, facility last year.

The National Association of Manufacturers is committed to fighting for pro-growth policies that allow manufacturers like DENSO to invest, expand and compete.
