A global company known for manufacturing various state-of-the-art products and services will soon open a new facility in Frankfort.
Nitto, a Japanese company who first established a US presence in 1968, is a developer of technology for industries including automotive, electronics, and aerospace.
Coming To Frankfort
The new facility will be located at 120 Fortune Drive in Franklin County’s Industrial Park 3.
Once complete, the new facility will provide Nitto with additional production space and a better location to assist the company to deliver a wide range of quality products to their customers.
“Nitto is excited to put down roots in the capital city and to welcome our team to the area in 2025,” said Yukihiro Horikawa, President of Nitto Inc. “The access to our customers is unparallelled in the Bluegrass region. We are enthusiastic about the community and excited to invest in Frankfort.”
Nitto has more than a dozen facilities in the US, including one in Lexington on Danforth Drive.
Continued Company Growth
The Frankfort facility will open for full-scale production in spring 2025.
The new facility is expected to create 220 full-time jobs.
“The economic momentum Kentucky is seeing is a direct result of tremendous growth among our largest and most vital industries, and manufacturing, automotive and aerospace are at the center of that growth,” said Governor Andy Beshear. “We continue to see quality companies like Nitto expanding to meet growing customer demand, and that is a recipe for long-term success for our economy. I want to thank Nitto’s leadership for this new investment and look forward to their continued growth in our state.”
