Nissan Plans First North American Supplier Park In Canton, Mississippi
07/30/2013
“Today, we begin an exciting new chapter in Mississippi as we continue our localization and investment efforts in the United States,” said Nissan Vice President for Total Delivered Cost Dan Bednarzyk. “Today’s groundbreaking supports our efforts to bring more Nissan cars and trucks to our plant in Mississippi, and means more Mississippi jobs. Additionally, the supplier park will help make us more globally competitive in our Canton Mississippi plant.”
Construction of a more than 1 million square-foot integrated logistics center off Nissan Parkway and infrastructure improvements to an existing supplier logistics center at the Canton plant will accommodate future supplier operations, Gov. Phil Bryant’s Office said.
“For a decade, Nissan has been a loyal corporate partner and has created thousands of jobs for Mississippians,” Gov. Phil Bryant said. “The addition of the new supplier park will bring more manufacturing-related jobs to Mississippi and serves to strengthen our growing automotive sector. I am grateful to Nissan for demonstrating to the world that ‘Mississippi Works.’ Great things are taking place in our state, and I wish Nissan many more years of growth and success in Canton.”
The Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance in support of the integrated logistics center for site preparation and infrastructure. To assist with the renovation of the supplier logistics center, MDA provided assistance for building upgrades, modifications and worker training. In addition, Madison County provided assistance for the project, as well.
“In the 10 years since it began operations, Nissan has become the cornerstone for Mississippi’s automotive industry and has created a model for manufacturing in our state today,” said MDA Executive Director Brent Christensen. “It is a big part of our mission to assist great companies such as Nissan as they grow and create job opportunities for Mississippi’s residents, and we thank our partners in Madison County who worked with us to help make this project possible.”
