Toyota Boshoku is making a $54.4 million capital investment to expand manufacturing operations at its metal stamping facility in Jackson, Tennessee.
“Team Madison County (City of Jackson, Madison County, Jackson Energy Authority, and Greater Jackson Chamber) has worked with this company since it opened in Jackson, and we are grateful for the investment the company continues to make in its team members and in this community,” said Mandy White, Greater Jackson Chamber Chief Economic Development Officer. “We have had the pleasure of visiting Toyota Boshoku’s corporate leadership in Japan twice, and we greatly value our partnership. This expansion is possible because of the positive business environment and talented workforce this area provides.”
The expansion will create 80 new jobs in Madison County. The announcement came Thursday by Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart McWhorter, and Toyota Boshoku Tennessee, LLC (TBTN).
Adding 87,000 square feet to TBTN’s existing Jackson facility will allow the company to consolidate its stamping operations to become a lower arm seat supplier, while also supporting Toyota Boshoku America’s subsidiary locations.
Headquartered in Jackson, and one of Toyota Boshoku America’s subsidiary operations, Toyota Boshoku Tennessee, LLC specializes in metal stamping for the automotive industry.
Upon completion of the project, TBTN will employ more than 600 Tennesseans.
