A Japanese company that manufactures interlayer and sound acoustic film for automotive glass has announced plans to build a new facility in Winchester.
Sekisui S-LEC America, LLC will construct a 129,000-square-foot plant on 23 acres in the Winchester-Clark County Industrial Park. The project represents a $43 million investment.
According to Sekisui, the Clark County site's proximity to its major customers, many of which are located along 1-75, and the availability of land in a developed industrial park influenced the company's decision to build there.
Sekisui anticipates the new facility will be operational by fall 2007, employing 80 workers with an annual payroll of over $4 million.
The company's Winchester plant will produce solar control interlayer film for automobile and truck windshields. Unlike traditional filters, the Sekisui film reportedly filters 99 percent of ultraviolet rays as well as heat rays.
Sekisui S-LEC America is a subsidiary of Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd, established in 1947, in Osaka, Japan and employer of more than 17,000 people worldwide.
