HEBRON – Hahn Automotive, a German manufacturing company located in Hebron, celebrated the opening of its expanded facility on Oct. 12. The ribbon-cutting ceremony was presided by Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery, representing Northern Kentucky Tri-ED. Hahn Automation has been located in Hebron since 2001 and the $3 million expansion

will allow for more production and more jobs. “We are excited to start the next phase of our growth in Northern Kentucky, which has been a tremendous source of talented workforce, quality customers and strong partnerships,” said John Baines, president of Hahn Automation North America. “Our expansion is the result of the tremendous growth and success we’ve achieved as a leading advanced manufacturing company.” The 21,000-square-foot ex-

pansion brings the facility’s total size to 46,000 square feet. It will add 20 to 30 new jobs to its staff of 75 full-time workers, 50 of whom are Kentucky residents. The ribbon cutting was done by one of the company’s own robots. The company supplies custom automation equipment for the automotive, household and pharmaceutical industries.
