Area Development
BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems is creating 120 jobs in Water Valley, Mississippi, some of which will be filled by current employees. The company will introduce a new generation of transmission controls called mini direct-acting solenoids. The expansion will add two production lines in the next three years.

"We are pleased that our latest control technology enables us to expand our operations in Water Valley and appreciate the support we've received on this important project," said John Sanderson, president and general manager of BorgWarner Drivetrain Systems.

The company will continue to supply Chrysler and General Motors with transmission solenoids and control modules the facility current manufactures.

Mississippi's Job Protection Grant Program will assist in the expansion. The state's Development Authority and the Tennessee Valley Authority partnered on the project.
