American auto manufacturing has shifted. Away from the consolidated production in Detroit to areas across the country, especially in the South. And Alabama has been at the forefront. Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Hyundai and Mazda-Toyota now have the capacity to produce 1.3 million vehicles every year in Alabama.
In 1993, Mercedes-Benz announced plans to open its only US assembly plant in Alabama. From there the road has been paved for auto manufacturers to take advantage of our competitive incentives and skilled workforce. Honda, Hyundai, Mazda-Toyota and an ever-expanding network of auto suppliers have made their home here, putting Alabama in the Top 5 nationally for automotive production and the No. 1 state for auto exports.
The rise of auto manufacturers in Alabama has brought with it a wealth of auto parts suppliers to support them. Alabama has made it easy for suppliers to relocate and find success in the state. And the proximity to suppliers makes it even easier for manufacturers to keep their operations rolling.
