Italian aluminum die casting company 2A USA has broken ground on a $32 million expansion of its Auburn manufacturing facility.
The company is a Tier I automotive industry supplier. The expansion will create 50 jobs, according to a story on the state of Alabama’s Made in Alabama site.
“Advanced manufacturing is a pillar of Alabama’s economy, and 2A USA’s presence and growth in our state is a testament to its products and company standards,” Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said. “It is also a strong vote of confidence in Alabama’s workforce and our pro-business environment.”
2A USA opened its facility in Auburn in 2014 and completed a $15 million expansion in 2019.
“The company’s continued expansion is a success story for foreign investment in Alabama,” Alabama Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair said. “Foreign investments play a key role in Alabama’s economy, and 2A’s expansion highlights what is possible when companies locate in a state and community that take seriously the shared goals of long-term growth. As 2A increases its capacity in the automotive supply chain, Alabama is honored to continue to provide the skilled workers needed to feed that growth.”
