NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Mitsubishi Motors announced on June 25 that it is relocating its North America headquarters to Tennessee from California, a move that will bring the Japanese automaker closer to its sister company Nissan and strengthen Tennessee’s growing reputation as an epicenter of the automotive sector.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee and Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe—who made the announcement along with Mitsubishi Motors North America—say the move to Franklin, Tennessee, from Cypress, California, will bring an $18.25 million investment to the region, along with about 200 jobs.
