WHY Attend The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH?

The South continues to grow as a manufacturing hub in the United States. According to ASSEMBLY’s annual Capital Equipment Spending Survey, 44 percent of assemblers in the region will spend more on assembly technology in 2024 than they did in 2023. That compares with 34 percent for the nation as a whole, and it’s the largest percentage of any region. On average, assembly plants in the South will spend more than $2.9 million on assembly technology in 2024, marking the third straight year in which the average budget has exceeded $2 million.

Over the next 10 years manufacturers are committing billions of dollars to building infrastructure facilities in the resource rich southern United States. Every major automotive OEM, including Ford, GM, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagen, BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Mercedes, now operate assembly plants within a 300-mile radius of Nashville.
