July 12, 2016: 25th Anniversary of NTN Driveshaft Inc.
When NTN Driveshaft announced plans in 1989 to open a plant in Columbus, the Japan-based manufacturer promised to employ at least 250 workers by 1991 by spending $97 million on a new facility — a monumental investment at that time.
Now 25 years later, the automobile parts manufacturer’s Columbus plant has grown into its largest facility outside of its home country, employing about 1,700 workers, making it the second largest employer in Bartholomew County, behind Cummins Inc.
About 25 of those workers have been with NTN since it first opened its doors in Columbus, and on Tuesday they came together with city leaders and top company officials to celebrate their milestone work anniversary.
