“Motus’ decision to locate a manufacturing plant in Gadsden is great news for the community and for the State’s expanding auto sector.”

Motus’ plans for the new Alabama facility build upon powerful growth trends in the state’s auto industry. It will also allow Motus to capitalise on the rapidly growing automotive industry across the broader South Eastern US.

In 2018 alone, auto manufacturing companies announced new Alabama projects involving nearly US$3.3bn in capital investment and almost 5,500 anticipated jobs.

Motus operates a global manufacturing platform with more than 2,000 employees operating its five current facilities.
