A Warren County manufacturing plant is launching a major expansion that will add 450 jobs.
Bowling Green Metalforming, located in the Kentucky Transpark, is investing $261 million over the next four years to better serve the automotive industry. It’s one of the largest corporate expansions that south central Kentucky has seen in the last decade.
Mayor Bruce Wilkerson said the company has been a great corporate neighbor.
Over a thousand people working there now means there's that many families have the wherewithal to take care of themselves in providing stable employment and a good location for them to work," Wilkerson told WKU Public Radio.
The expansion will include equipment purchases and a 260,000-square-foot-addition to the company’s current facility. It’s the sixth expansion for Bowling Green Metalforming since breaking ground 11 years ago.
