Even though it’s small, it definitely is good to have some positive news amidst the current crisis -- Ed.

A new automotive manufacturing facility coming to Cullman will create up to 400 jobs and include a $30 million investment within five years, according to a state news release.
Royal Technologies Corp. will use the new plant to service the Southeast market. Royal Technologies produces automotive interior trim, the news release from Gov. Bob Riley’s office said.

It is purchasing 26.6 acres in a Cullman industrial park for a plastic injection molding, assembly, decorating and foam molding operation. Royal Technology employs about 800 at four different facilities in Michigan. This will be the company’s first facility outside of Michigan.

Royal Technology said it will expand the new Cullman operation in phases, with phase one being a manufacturing plant and office space of approximately 125,000 square feet. The 26.6 acres will allow it to potentially expand the operation to up to 400,000 square feet.
