The Birmingham News Follow Auto supplier North American Lighting Inc. will invest about $35 million and create 250 jobs over the next three years with the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Muscle Shoals. The expansion will begin operations in January, and the company will produce 1.2 million head lamps per year by 2014, according to Governor Robert Bentley, who was in Muscle Shoals today for the announcement. “Our automotive supplier base continues to grow as companies find that Alabama is the best place to locate operations, to expand and to live,” the governor said in a prepared statement. North American Lighting’s U.S. headquarters are in Paris, Ill. The company has three manufacturing plants in southern Illinois and a technical center in Farmington Hills, Mich. The company, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Koito Manufacturing Co. Ltd., supplies lighting products to nearly every automaker in the United States.
