Auto Parts Manufacturing Mississippi expands in Lee County, MS

Jackson, Miss. (July 1, 2026) – Auto Parts Manufacturing Mississippi is expanding its operations in Lee County. The project represents a $53 million corporate investment and will create 28 jobs.

APMM is one of the leading parts suppliers in North America for Toyota Corolla, which is manufactured in Blue Springs. Started by Toyota Auto Body-Japan in 2007, the company began production in 2011 and specializes in metal stamping, injection molding, plastics and robotic welding.

The expansion will support increased production capacity at the company’s Guntown operations through the purchase, installation and renovation of production equipment.

The company expects to complete the project and fill the positions over the next five years.
