ArtiCast Jackson, a subsidiary of ArtiFlex, plans to open a high-pressure die casting manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tenn.

ArtiFlex, which manufactures die-cast components for the aerospace, defense and automotive industries, will invest $10.3 million into the project and create 100 jobs at the facility.

This will be the first site in Tennessee for ArtiFlex, which is headquartered in Michigan.

ArtiCast Jackson will move into the former Pace Industries facility, following its closure earlier this year. The company’s high-pressure die casting equipment includes machines with capacity up to 1,800 tons, allowing it to support a range of component sizes, production requirements and customer programs.

ArtiCast Jackson says Tennessee facility will expand casting capabilities

“ArtiCast Jackson is an important step in expanding our casting and manufacturing platform and bringing more capability closer to customers in the Southeast United States,” said Erin Hoffmann, CEO and chairman of the board at ArtiFlex Holdings, said in a Sept. 15 press release. 

“Tennessee’s business-friendly climate and highly skilled workforce continue to create an environment where leading global companies like ArtiCast Jackson can thrive,” said Governor Bill Lee. “I’m grateful for their investment in Madison County and commitment to creating 100 high-quality jobs that will make a meaningful difference in the lives of 100 families across this region.”
