Alstom continues to power up hiring at its $300 million Chattanooga factory that opened last year with the plant still on plan to hit 350 workers by 2013, a top official said today.
Pierre L. Gauthier, the head of the company’s U.S. and Canada operations, said in Chattanooga the plant has hired more than 200 people so far.
“It’s a gradual ramp up,” he said about the factory that is making steam and gas turbines along with components for the power industry.
Alstom is hosting a meeting of about 40 Chattanooga area business and education leaders with the nation’s Council on Competitiveness, a non-partisan, non-governmental organization comprised of CEOs, university presidents and labor leaders working to ensure U.S. prosperity.
