A German-based company that specializes in the manufacturing of environmental controls for automobiles opened a new facility in Louisville, Kentucky.
Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear was on-hand Wednesday morning for the grand opening of Purem by Eberspächer, at 7001 Greenbelt Highway, near Logistics Drive. This specific plant will produce diesel exhaust aftertreatment systems, a device for reducing harmful exhaust emissions from internal combustion engines.
Operations at the 180,000-square-foot plant will begin in November, according to a news release from Eberspächer. The new plant, which is the seventh plant in the U.S., is expected to create 250 new jobs.
“The motivation and willingness to perform of the growing team in Louisville was proof that we are making an investment in the future,” Ralf Maus, executive vice president at Purem by Eberspächer, said in a statement. “Today, we are celebrating the opening of our new plant in Louisville together. With the components to be produced here, we are laying the foundation for another step towards clean mobility.”
