The newest resident of the Coosa Valley Industrial Park, M-Tek, should be up and running by October, according to Talladega County Economic Development Authority Director Calvin Miller.
Although M-Tek is a Japanese company, its North American headquarters is in Tennessee, and they already operate one other plant in Alabama.
The company will manufacture parts for the Honda Odyssey and Pilot and for the Acura MBX out of a speculative building the EDA put up several years ago. Miller explained the building was constructed with a gravel floor because many industries, including M-Tek, require a network of pipes and trenches underneath the floor. It is much easier and less expensive to put in a gravel floor and then pour a foundation when the under floor work is done.
Getting the building ready for production is expected to cost $6.5 million. By the end of its third year, the company is expected to have 198 people on a $7 million payroll. Most jobs will begin at $14 to $15 per hour.
M-Tek and Allegiance Staffing will host a job fair July 11 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Alabama Career Center on South Street East, next to Central Alabama Community College’s Talladega campus. Available positions include production technicians, process engineers and techs, maintenance, quality techs and supervisors.
