Irish Manufacturer’s $12.5 Million Investment to Bring 450 jobs to Kingsport, TN
08/23/2011
C&F Group manufactures decorative and functional trim for the automotive industry, small wind turbines, and racking for the data management industry. Currently it has a presence in Ireland, Germany, Czech Republic, the Philippines and China. IBM, BMW and Volkswagen are some of the company's key international customers.
Tom Hyland, president of C&F Manufacturing USA Inc., explained that Tennessee was the "obvious choice" for the new location after company officials conducted a comprehensive review of more than 20 locations in the Southeast U.S. and across several states.
C&F Group will lease the building located at the Magneti-Marelli site in the business park (a facility formerly used to manufacture automotive industry parts). The city of Kingsport and Sullivan County will each give the firm $250,000 ($500,000 total) to pay for the first 20 months of lease payments.
