Automotive components manufacturer Faurecia will invest $18 million to expand its operations in Spring Hill, Tennessee. The project is expected to create 171 jobs.

Located at 3555 Cleburne Road, the company will expand its existing facility by nearly 100,000 square feet to increase manufacturing capabilities, specifically the production of door panel assemblies for several major OEMs.

“We are excited for this expansion that would not have been possible without the team’s experience, an engaged workforce, and local government support. This expansion is another chapter in supporting our employees, our local community and business partners, and commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions to our customers,” said Faurecia Spring Hill plant manager Petri Duplessis.

This expansion comes two years after Faurecia located its manufacturing operations in Tennessee, at which time the company invested $30 million and committed to create nearly 150 new jobs in Maury County.

“Since 2015, French-owned companies have invested more than $280 million in our state, and we appreciate Faurecia for committing an additional $18 million of capital investment. We congratulate Faurecia on this expansion, which takes place just two years after the company chose to locate in Tennessee and thank the company for its continued investment and job creation in Spring Hill,” TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe added.

Founded in 1997, Faurecia is a top ten global automotive supplier with 266 industrial sites and approximately 39 R&D centers in 35 countries worldwide and provides innovative solutions to automotive challenges across four business groups: Seating, Interiors, Clarion Electronics and Clean Mobility. The Spring Hill expansion will support Faurecia’s position as one of the world’s leading suppliers of seat systems, full interior systems, electronics and display technologies, and ultra-low and zero emission solutions.

“TVA and Columbia Power & Water Systems congratulate Faurecia Interior Systems, Inc. on its decision to expand operations in Maury County. It’s always an exciting day when we can celebrate a company’s continued commitment to growth in the Valley. We are proud to partner with the Maury Alliance, Middle Tennessee Industrial Development Association and Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development to support companies like Faurecia, create new job opportunities and investment in the region,” John Bradley, TVA senior vice president of Economic Development noted.
