Arvin Sango Plans "On Hold"
By: Keli McAlister
Auto parts manufacturer Arvin Sango says its
plans to open a plant in Henderson are on
hold for now.
In February, the company announced plans for
a Chester County facility that would create
40 new jobs.
The Henderson facility was supposed to make
parts for the new Toyota plant near Tupelo,
Mississippi. But Toyota has changed its
plans for that plant. Instead of making the
Highlander SUV, it will now manufacture
Prius Hybrids.
That means parts makers like Arvin Sango
must re-bid their contracts.
Chester County leaders say they are unsure
when or if plans for the plant will go
forward.
