For all of us North Alabama Realtors, especially Decatur Realtors, Daikin Industries chose Decatur over China for a plant expansion! The $66 million expansion will create at least 25 jobs. This will be the largest of Daikin's expansions since 1994. The expansion will increase Daikin's production of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer used in plastic in wire and cable. Japan-based Daikin estimates the expansion will generate $161,000 in one-time revenue for the city because of sales tax revenue on construction employees and the building permit. Daikin Industries employs 19,000 people and has manufacturing operations in 11 countries.
