The company will fill a plant in Jackson that was previously operated by Pace Industries, which closed the site in February. ArtiCast Jackson plans to make aerospace, defense and automotive components using high-pressure die casting equipment, with machines that reach capacities of up to 1,800 tons. The company is part of the Michigan-based ArtiFlex Manufacturing family of companies.

What officials said

Lee credited Tennessee's business-friendly climate and skilled workforce for drawing the company, and said the jobs will help 100 families in the region, according to the Tennessee Lookout.
