Two different automotive suppliers have manufacturing facility projects going on at Auburn Technology Park West and were issued building permits last week.

Vertex Innovations is investing $13.5 million to establish an advanced manufacturing operation in Auburn at 2270 Riley Street.

The company is taking over an existing facility at the Auburn Technology Park West, transforming it into a hub dedicated to high-precision manufacturing. The investment is expected to create 45 new jobs. A $2.2 million permit was issued for that project last week.

Another automotive supplier is working on a project at Auburn Technology Park West (2201 Riley Street). A new $8.7 million permit was issued for South Korean automotive electronics supplier DIA.

DIA will establish a clean-room operation to manufacture electronic system components for the automotive industry, with an investment total of $21 million to the project. This will be DIA’s first manufacturing operation in the United States.
