Automation IG was recently featured in an article for Automotive News.   In the article, Jerry Tyman, Automation IG's general manager, speaks about the upcoming Volkswagen plant and the anticipated effect by VW and its suppliers on local companies like Automation IG.

Automation IG, already supporting top tier 1 suppliers with robotic systems, robotic integration, tooling and fixturing, and support services is well positioned to benefit from the increased manufacturing activities inherent in a major automotive company like VW coming to Chattanooga.
