THE ENGINE IS REVVING IN THE CINCINNATI REGION

With multiple interstate highway (I-75, I-74, and I-71) corridors running through our region, Cincinnati companies have direct access to automotive companies throughout the Midwest and Southeast. The Cincinnati region’s geographic location means automotive suppliers can reach 77% of North American auto production and 96% of U.S. and Canadian auto production within a one-day drive (1,000-KM radius). The automotive supply chain is projected to continue to grow as new technologies such as electric and autonomous vehicles develop. With projected industry growth and ongoing demand for automotive manufacturers, the Cincinnati region is well-positioned to support new companies.

Success Story

UGN

UGN, Inc. is a Tier 1 automotive supplier of acoustic, interior trim, and thermal management products. Originally selecting Monroe, OH for its manufacturing location in 2014, UGN committed to an expansion in 2018. The 150,000-square-foot expansion added 111 jobs and approximately $40MM in capital investment. Location to customers and success in finding a skilled workforce led to UGN choosing the Cincinnati region for a second time.

Hear from the companies in our region.

"Southwest Ohio is home for us, and we care deeply about the success of the manufacturers here. As the region’s only non-profit manufacturing consulting organization, TechSolve is truly mission-driven — our goal is to see manufacturers (big and small) not just meet expectations but exceed them. Whether it’s solving immediate challenges or building long-term strategies, we work side-by-side with manufacturers to help them grow, thrive, and achieve what’s next.”

“Advanced Manufacturing Industry Partnership (AMIP) was designed to bring local manufacturers together to collaborate and find solutions for our industry’s skills gaps. Currently, AMIP has 250 active members. In 2019, we had the largest collection of Manufacturing Day events in the country, hosting more than 5,000 students at about 70 company locations. Together, we are working to better connect with our future talent pipeline.”
