Germany-based Heiche Surface Technologies plans a substantial investment to open an advanced metals coating facility in Jasper

Governor Kay Ivey announced today that Germany-based Heiche Surface Technologies plans a substantial investment to open an advanced metals coating facility in Jasper, creating at least 73 jobs and expanding Walker County’s footprint in Alabama’s auto industry.

Heiche, whose customers include automakers and suppliers, will locate its manufacturing operation to a more than 100,000-square-foot speculative building in the Jasper Industrial Park, just two miles away from Interstate 22.

“Alabama’s automotive industry continues to spark economic growth throughout many parts of the state, and that robust growth is transforming Jasper into a hub for international automotive suppliers,” Governor Ivey said.

“Heiche is a welcome addition to the automotive supply chain emerging in the Walker County city and all across Sweet Home Alabama.” Read more here:
