Michelin Expansion To Bring 74 New Jobs to N.C.

Michelin announced it is investing $11.3 million to expand its aviation tire operations in Norwood, N.C., which will create 74 new jobs at the facility over the next 18 months. Hiring for some of the positions will begin later this month with the balance being filled in early 2011, the company said in a press release.

“Michelin’s Norwood facility is where some of the best aviation tires in the world are made – tires for commercial planes, military jets and the space shuttle,” said Dick Wilkerson, chairman and president of Michelin North America. “Adding aviation tire retreading is the perfect complement to our current North Carolina operations. This expansion will improve the efficiency of our aviation tire business and help us serve our customers even better in the years to come.”

Michelin’s Norwood facility currently has 320 employees. The expansion is slated to begin in the second half of this year and be completed by the end of 2011. According to the release, those interested in applying for the new positions should contact the North Carolina Employment Security Commission for applications.

Michelin North America has more than 20,900 employees and operates 18 manufacturing plants in 16 locations.
