IIR Industry Alert: Nissan's New Canton Assembly Plant Attracts a Bounty of Suppliers to Central Mississippi

    HOUSTON--May 28, 2002--Researched by Industrialinfo.com (Industrial Information Resources Incorporated; Houston). It would be an understatement to say that the state of Mississippi is delighted with the presence of Nissan and its suppliers in the state. To date, at least ten Tier I suppliers have located manufacturing plants near the Nissan assembly plant or in neighboring counties.
    Calsonic Kansei North America (Shelbyville, Tenn.) has recently opened a 150,000 sqft plant in the Ceres Industrial Park in Vicksburg, Miss. The plant will assemble and supply front-end modules and exhaust systems to the new Nissan Plant in Canton, Miss. Calsonic Kansei is also 85% finished with construction of a 25,000 sqft plant on the Nissan site in Canton. The Canton plant should be ready for equipment installation by the end of July.
