Feintool continues to expand to meet customer demand for next-generation hybrid-capable transmissions. The $35 million, 47,000-sq.-ft. expansion is a 25% increase in space at the company’s Nashville, Tenn., facility, making room for a 1,600-ton direct servo transfer press that will go into service in Q1 2025.
