Well-respected companies such as Mercedes, Honda and Hyundai have already found that Alabama is the ideal setting for automotive manufacturing and have set up shop in the state. The announcement that Kia will build its first U.S. plant one mile from the Alabama state line also has the state working to maximize the economic impact for current and potential automotive suppliers and workers who live within driving distance of the plant.
Others have also chosen Alabama to build their engines, including Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Inc. in Huntsville, and International Diesel, which produces advanced technology diesel engines in Huntsville. Today in Alabama, there are over 300 automotive related companies --- 286% increase since 1991, including an extensive supplier network.
