Feintool continues to expand and invest in next generation hybrid capable transmissions for its customers. “Our $26 million, 47,000 sq ft. expansion represents a 25 percent increase in plant size at our Nashville facility and is part of Feintool’s transformation towards an electrified future,” said Christoph Trachshler, CEO, Feintool U.S. Operations. “Given strong sales and Feintool’s commitment to leadership in technology, this is another step in our North American strategy to deliver the best value for our customers through modern equipment, automation, and vertical integration.”

Feintool is making room for a new 1600-ton direct servo transfer press that is planned to go into service in Q1 2025. “The expansion will create 25 new jobs to help meet demand for automotive transmissions hubs, clutch baskets, and gear spiders,” said Dan Swiger, Vice President General Manager, Feintool Tennessee.

This significant investment allows Feintool to expand its capabilities in metal forming and combine large tonnage, extended table direct-drive servo technology on the new forming presses with state-of-the-art in-tool roller tool technology. The investment also gives Feintool the ability to form high-quality components in a single tool run and at lower costs compared to other machining processes.

Additional presses and capability include a new 880-ton fineblanking press, CNC lathes, laser welding, parts washers and tumblers. Feintool opened its first North American plant over 40 years ago and today produces over 1 million automotive parts per day between its Nashville and Cincinnati operations.
