German Auto Parts Maker Eyes Fort Wayne

A German-based auto parts supplier plans to build a factory in For Wayne that’s expected to create up to 150 new jobs. ElringKlinger announced Thursday that its 60,000-square-foot factory will produce aluminum shielding systems for acoustic and thermal protection in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. That plant will be its first in Indiana and is expected to create up to 150 new jobs by 2022. ElringKlinger plans to begin production there in September.
