White Drive Motors & Steering in Christian County is looking to expand their operations, investing $16 million and creating 25 full-time jobs.
According to a news release from Governor Andy Beshear’s Office, the manufacturer of orbital motors and hydraulic steering units will make a nearly 13,000 square foot addition to its 124,000-square-foot facility in Christian County. The project is moving production of the gearset, known as “the heart of the unit,” to Kentucky, transferring the company’s intended production operations from Parchim, Germany, to Bill Bryan Boulevard in Hopkinsville.
Christian County Judge-Executive Jerry Gilliam says, “White Drive Motors & Steering is an incredible corporate partner and we’re honored that they’ve chosen our community for their expansion project. This is further testament that Christian County is a great place to do business with our low cost of living and even lower taxes.”
