Anniston business expansion increasing new jobs

The Anniston city council got some unexpected good news Monday when An Expanding Anniston business announced it will be creating 359 jobs, some 150 more than they had originally anticipated.  Council members learned International Automotive Components at McClellan will possibly generate 359 new manufacturing jobs due to its planned $22 million expansion. The company, which injects plastic into molds to create automotive parts, mentioned the updated job figure in a city application for tax abatements for the expansion. When the company's plans were first revealed in January, the expansion was expected to create around 200 jobs. The company currently employs 270 workers.
