10/04/2024
The new production facility, located at the Auburn Technology Park North, will allow the company to expand into the aluminum forging market.
“Auburn has proven itself to be the ideal location of our company’s expansion here in America,” ILJIN SC President Dongsoo Um said. “Thanks to the City of Auburn’s help, we were able to meet the tight deadlines for this project and will be able to provide our customers with the products they need.”
ILJIN serves rail, automotive and industrial markets. The company supplies control arms, stabilizer links, ball joints and other components to major auto manufacturers.
“ILJIN first partnered with the state of Alabama 15 years ago when it opened its first North American wheel bearing facility in Phenix City,” noted llen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This is yet another success story that shows Alabama has all the ingredients for manufacturing companies to thrive in our great state.”
