German automotive supplier Eissmann Automotive NA has wrapped up an expansion of its Pell City facility.
The manufacturer said in 2022 it planned to invest $3.4 million to bring new advanced manufacturing equipment to its new production line. Leaders at that time planned to hire 79 more employees to support the production for new orders.
The project changed to be a $9.2 million expansion for a new advanced manufacturing equipment for a new production line, according to the St. Clair County Economic Development Council. The company now expects to hire an additional 121 employees to support the production line that is scheduled to come online at the end of the month.
The company specializes in car interiors, built-to-print trim components, shifter modules and many other parts for German and domestic automakers such as Mercedes, Audi, Jeep, Tesla, Porsche, Volkswagen and others.
