Tennessee Repeats as Magazine’s Best for Auto Manufacturing

For the second year in a row, Business Facilities magazine has ranked Tennessee as the top state for Automotive Manufacturing Strength.

Editor-in-chief Jack Rogers cites VW’s plant in Chattanooga and Nissan’s expansion in Smyrna as key to the state’s number one ranking, adding – quote – “the Volunteer State is well-positioned to defend it’s automotive crown for years to come.”

Second on the list is South Carolina. Michigan ranks sixth.
