A company that produces metal stamping and raw metal seat frames and doors for the automotive sector, Magnum Manufacturing, Inc. plans to invest $2 million to expand its operations, 74.3 miles west of Nashville, in Erin, Tennessee.

Magnum plans to expand into an adjacent building, which will double its existing footprint in Erin. The company will invest in new equipment and building renovations. The company plans to create approximately 50 jobs in Houston County during the next five years.

“After operating in Tennessee for more than 20 years, Magnum is excited to move ahead with this expansion and create nearly 50 jobs in Erin,” Philip Jackson, Magnum Vice President, said. “This expansion is a major step for our company and will meet growing market demand for our products.”

“This expansion by Magnum is significant for Erin and Houston County,” TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe said. “It is critical for us to encourage job creation and private investment in a Tier-4 county such as Houston. One of our top priorities is to have zero distressed counties by 2025. The creation of approximately 50 jobs in Erin will go a long way toward achieving this goal, and we thank Magnum for its commitment to the people of Houston County.”

“Magnum is a great company and has supported this community for a long time,” Houston County Mayor George Clark said. “This expansion will help put more money in pockets of our residents, and I’m proud to see Magnum create about 50 new jobs in Houston County.”
