MONTGOMERY, AL – AIDT, Alabama’s number one incentive, will provide pre-employment training for a new company locating to Montgomery, Alabama.

Hyundai Electric Systems Alabama Inc. (HESAI) is a subsidiary of Hyundai Electro Electric Systems, which is a division Hyundai Heavy Industries based in South Korea. They will build a 220,000 square foot facility that will be located in Montgomery’s Interstate Industrial Park and production is expected to start in early 2012.

“New jobs anywhere today is incredible and HESAI could have chosen any part of the world to locate in, but they chose Montgomery. This is a real tribute to Montgomery’s workforce, the leadership of Mayor Strange, and the Montgomery Chamber economic development team,” stated Ed Castile, AIDT Director.

HESAI is expected to bring 480 jobs to the River Region and hiring will start in late 2010. AIDT will provide employee recruitment, assessment and training for the new workers hired. Other services provided by AIDT will include our Pre-employment Selection System, On the Job Training and all other support services offered to new companies moving to Alabama.

HESAI will manufacture transformers that will be sold in the U.S. and abroad. Starting wages will average around $18 per hour. “These are good solid manufacturing positions coming at a time when they are most needed and they will help bring this area closer to a quicker economic recovery,” Castile stated.
