TOKYO – KYOSAN DENSO Manufacturing Kentucky, DENSO Corp.’s subsidiary in Mt. Sterling, KY, plans to expand its 80,700 sq. ft. facility by adding 84,500 sq. ft.  The $27.1 million investment will also create approximately 150 new jobs by 2010 (the plant current employs 280).

Construction of the new facility is scheduled to begin in August and be completed by March 2007. Production should begin in June 2007.
