2A USA, an Italian die-casting company, is expanding its operations in Auburn.

The company recently announced a $32 million investment in its manufacturing presence on the Plains. The funds will go toward increasing production capacity for casting and machining large aluminum components for the trucking industry.

The expansion is expected to create 50 new jobs.

“We are extremely grateful for the Ilotte family making such a significant investment in our community and further intensifying the partnership between 2A and the City of Auburn. We wish Carlo, his son Vincenzo and the team at 2A continued success with their business.”
Ron Anders, Auburn mayor

2A USA making second significant expansion in Auburn

The latest announcement marks the company’s second major investment for expansion at the Auburn facility since it opened at Auburn Technology Park West in 2014.

In 2019, 2A USA expanded the facility with a $15 million investment.

“From the beginning, our company has focused on advanced engineering and strong partnerships with our customers. Over the years, Auburn has become an important part of our company’s story.”
Cavaliere Carlo Ilotte, founder and chief executive officer of 2A

Cavaliere Carlo Ilotte founded the Company in Italy in 1974 and developed 2A to be a technology-driven company with global reach.

With its operation in Auburn, the company has produced “Made in the USA” since 2015.

“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. It is also a strong vote of confidence in Alabama’s workforce and our pro-business environment.”
