SOUTHFIELD, Mich.,
Nov. 11, 2014
/PRNewswire/ -- To meet increasing sales in North America, global automotive supplier
DENSO will open a new shipping warehouse in Nashville, Tennessee. The company will invest
approximately $6.7 million to open a
165,000 square-foot warehouse, which will result in the creation of
about 20 new jobs. DENSO's new location, DENSO Logistics Nashville
Tennessee (DLNT), is scheduled to open in April
2015.
"This new warehouse enables us to expand our capabilities to
satisfy our customers and also support continued sales growth,"
said Britt Autry, vice president of
the North American Production Promotion Center at DENSO
Manufacturing Tennessee in Maryville.
Warehouse Expansion in Michigan:
Along with the Nashville expansion, DENSO also recently
invested approximately $1.6 million
to expand its DENSO Logistics Michigan (DLMI) warehouse, located in
Belleville, Michigan. The
investment represents the addition of 40,902 square feet and 10 new
jobs. DLMI opened its doors in 2007 to coordinate the distribution
of products from various countries, like Japan, Spain,
Hungary and Thailand, to a wide range of DENSO's North
American customers. With the addition of DLNT, DENSO will have six
warehouses in North America.
The Michigan and Tennessee warehouse news is part of DENSO's
expansion plan to invest nearly $1
billion in North America –
more than $750 million in
the United States – to strengthen
and expand its product development and manufacturing capabilities
across the region.
