Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--ZF Industries Incorporated (Gainesville, Georgia) is planning to expand the company's existing transmission manufacturing plant in Gainesville, Georgia, by constructing another plant in Gainesville, estimated to cost approximately $90 million.

Plans are to expand the existing 250,000-square-foot plant on Palmour Drive by constructing a 250,000-square-foot addition five miles from the existing plant.

The company has run out of space at the existing location. Construction started in April of this year and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year.
