Michelin to invest $50 million at BFGoodrich

Sherry Slater | The Journal Gazette

FORT WAYNE – Michelin North America today confirmed plans to invest $50 million to upgrade equipment and expand production at the company’s BFGoodrich Tire manufacturing facility in Woodburn.

The project will create about 35 new jobs at the plant, which employs almost 1,600.

The Journal Gazette reported in December that company officials were considering the plant for an upgrade. At that time, a union official said he believed the company was already in the midst of a $77 million investment in the Woodburn plant.

Michelin officials selected the Woodburn plant after conducting a competitive process among several company plants for the upgrade investment.
