Big news for Montgomery

This Alabama city is already familiar with Hyundia—we’re talking about it being the largest private manufacturer in the area with 2,700 full-time and 500 part-time employees, according to Transportation Today. With incredible numbers like that, the company decided to open a new 260,000-square-foot facility. This $388 million facility will be making engines for Hyundai cars.

“Hyundai’s investment to prepare the Montgomery facility for next-generation engines underscores the strength of the alliance we have formed with the automaker and sets the stage for continued growth in this mutually beneficial relationship.”

Greg Canfield, Secretary, Alabama Department of Commerce
