SMYRNA (AP) - An auto supplier is spending more than $53 million to build a new manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee.

Gov. Bill Haslam and Economic and Community Development Commissioner Randy Boyd announced Wednesday that Tokyo-based Topre America will expand on their current operations based inside the Nissan Smyrna plant.

They say the expansion will allow the company to increase production efficiency and create 100 new jobs in Rutherford County.

Topre America provides automotive stamping and assemblies for body structures for Nissan, Honda and Toyota.

Construction on the new facility is scheduled to begin in August, with completion by June 2017.

Haslam and Boyd also announced this week that global food manufacturer General Mills is investing $250 million to expand its operations in Murfreesboro, a move expected to create 117 new jobs.
