BorgWarner Announces Major Project In Hendersonville
Today, Governor BorgWarner, a U.S.-based global mobility solutions company, announced a major project in Hendersonville. The company plans to invest $74.9 million to create a new advanced manufacturing facility and create 193 jobs.
The company is headquartered in Michigan and supplies technological and system solutions to every major automotive Original Equipment Manufactures (OEM) in the world. For more than 130 years, BorgWarner has been a transformative global product leader bringing successful mobility innovation to market. The new 220,000-square-foot manufacturing site will be the company’s second North Carolina facility, adding to its portfolio of 84 manufacturing and technical center locations worldwide.
What They Are Saying:
“BorgWarner is proud to continue to invest in the state of North Carolina to bring an exciting new technology to market and provide jobs to local residents,” said Joseph F. Fadool, President and Chief Executive Officer, BorgWarner Inc. “We appreciate the grant and continued support from the state of North Carolina to expand our manufacturing footprint here in the United States.”
“BorgWarner could have chosen anywhere in the world for this new product line, but they chose to reinvest in North Carolina,” said N.C. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Western North Carolina is recovering stronger every day, and companies looking to grow want to do so in places like Henderson County, where there is access to a strong talent pool, a solid supply chain, and an excellent quality of life.”
“We are delighted to welcome BorgWarner back to Hendersonville,” said Senator Timothy D. Moffitt. “This company has been a strong corporate member of our community, and we look forward to partnering with them again and for many more years to come.”
“This is outstanding news for the region and the entire state,” said Representative Jake Johnson. “We’re grateful to the economic development professionals and state and local officials that support our economic recovery with much-needed wins like this.”
