How do I know if my 2007 toyota corolla has tire pressure monitoring system or not?

Nov 12, 2010 by tough life | Posted in Toyota

Tennessee manufacturing on slight upswing

03.12.11

HELENWOOD, Tenn. — In a county that has suffered the highest unemployment rate in Tennessee, Takahata Precision America Inc. is expanding its plant in Helenwood and intends to hire more workers.

The automotive industry is beginning to come back from the recession, and the Scott County plant, which makes injection molded plastic parts for vehicle fuel systems, is seeing demand pick up, said Mike Slaven, business planning manager for the operation.

"We are looking to hire somewhere between 25 and 35 additional employees between now and April, May, June of next year," he said.

They will join the 85-member Takahata work force in this Cumberland Mountain town on the outskirts of Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. The company has finished the first phase of a two-phase, 45,000-square-foot addition to accommodate additional injection molding machines and warehouse space. Slaven said this represents a nearly $3 million investment.

Debra Thompson, vice president of Takahata Precision America, said the plant, which opened in 2002, is the only American subsidiary of Japan-based Takahata. It employed about 110 people before the recession and has been gradually building back its work force.
