Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe and Faurecia officials announced that the automotive components manufacturer will expand its operations, creating 171 new jobs in Spring Hill.
Located at 3555 Cleburne Road, Faurecia will invest $18 million to expand its existing facility by nearly 100,000 square feet to increase manufacturing capabilities, specifically the production of door panel assemblies for several major OEMs. This expansion comes two years after Faurecia located its manufacturing operations in Tennessee, at which time the company invested $30 million and committed to create nearly 150 new jobs in Maury County.
Founded in 1997, Faurecia is a top ten global automotive supplier with 266 industrial sites and approximately 39 R&D centers in 35 countries worldwide and provides innovative solutions to automotive challenges across four business groups: Seating, Interiors, Clarion Electronics and Clean Mobility. The Spring Hill expansion will support Faurecia’s position as one of the world’s leading suppliers of seat systems, full interior systems, electronics and display technologies, and ultra-low and zero emission solutions.
Over the last five years, TNECD has supported more than 20 economic development projects in Maury County, resulting in 5,500 job commitments and approximately $5 billion in capital investment.
“Thank you, Faurecia, for choosing to expand in Spring Hill. This continued investment underscores our state’s business-friendly climate and highly skilled workforce. The creation of nearly 200 jobs in the automotive sector will significantly increase the opportunities for those in Maury County.” – Gov. Bill Lee
“Since 2015, French-owned companies have invested more than $280 million in our state, and we appreciate Faurecia for committing an additional $18 million of capital investment. We congratulate Faurecia on this expansion, which takes place just two years after the company chose to locate in Tennessee and thank the company for its continued investment and job creation in Spring Hill.” – TNECD Commissioner Bob Rolfe
“We are excited for this expansion that would not have been possible without the team’s experience, an engaged workforce, and local government support. This expansion is another chapter in supporting our employees, our local community and business partners, and commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality solutions to our customers.” – Petri Duplessis, Faurecia Spring Hill plant manager

We are appreciative for the new jobs and additional investment and look forward to Faurecia’s growth and success here.” – Spring Hill Mayor Jim Hagaman
