Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions Expands Operations
Mooresville, NC – Roush Yates Engines, a manufacturer of Ford engines for the NASCAR Cup Series, plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Iredell County. The company plans to invest $14 million by growing the Roush Yates’ advanced manufacturing division, Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions. The expansion will include purchasing machinery and equipment and building a new 50,000 square foot facility next to its current location on Byers Creek Road in Mooresville.
Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions is a world class ISO 9001/ AS9100 advanced CNC manufacturing division that provides CNC machining, assembly, and testing for motorsports, aerospace, defense, space, and other high tech-industries. Roush Yates Engines was established in 2003 and currently has two state-of-the-art facilities – Roush Yates Engines and Roush Yates Manufacturing Solutions, in Mooresville.
Roush Yates was awarded contracts to manufacture components for NASCAR’s NextGen car for the coming year. The company diversified into new market areas with the help of the North Carolina Defense Industry Diversification Initiative (NCDIDI). Roush Yates has been a strong proponent of a new local initiative called ReVamp, modeled after NCDIDI, to help other motorsports companies diversify.
“Roush Yates is a leader in the motorsports and Mooresville community,” said Jenn Bosser, President & CEO, Iredell EDC. “They have contributed significantly to the success of advanced manufacturing through their partnership in helping NASCAR Tech launch a CNC Machining program and their promotion of ReVamp to help other component manufacturers diversify.”
