NHK plans to add a robotic weld cell that will use robots to manufacture automotive seat structures at the Murfreesboro facility which currently employs 81 workers. NHK’s investment will go toward installation of this equipment as well as the possibility of additional space for shipping and receiving.
“NHK Seating of America, Inc. continues to add associates and capital equipment to support increasing production volume at our facility in Murfreesboro. Corporate management would like to acknowledge our appreciation for the continuing support of the community leaders of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County,” NHK Seating Murfreesboro Plant Manager Fred Myers said. “We have been able to meet our milestone objectives to date and are pleased with the quality of our associates, both in management and production most of whom came to us from the local community. NHK is excited about the continued growth and business with our partners in Tennessee and look forward to a long business relationship.”
“Tennessee continues to prove our business-friendly environment is the ideal climate for advanced manufacturing companies to succeed,” Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty. “NHK Seating of America is not only growing but thriving thanks to a highly skilled and available workforce and one of the lowest tax burdens in the country.”
