KettenWulf, the Germany-based chain-maker, will build a $34 million manufacturing operation in Auburn.
“KettenWulf’s decision to invest in Auburn speaks to Alabama’s ability to compete and win on the global stage,” Gov. Kay Ivey said. “With a highly skilled workforce and deep manufacturing heritage, Alabama’s business climate continues to attract innovative manufacturing companies from around the world.”
Founded in Germany in 1925, KettenWulf recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The company specializes in high-performance engineered conveyor chains, drive chains and sprockets serving a wide range of industrial applications.
“On behalf of the Wulf family, that includes my siblings, Julia and Tobias, and our father, we appreciate the valuable support we have received from the city of Auburn and the state of Alabama that made this possible,” said Ansgar Wulf, CEO of KettenWulf. “We are proud to have found our new home in Auburn to serve our customers across the Americas.”
The Auburn facility is expected to create about 70 new jobs.
