Saylor Wheel LLC has announced plans to locate manufacturing operations to Greenwood, Mississippi. The tire and steel wheel manufacturer will invest $23.4 million into the project, creating 145 new jobs for the area. Saylor Wheel will use the money to purchase and renovate an existing building, as well as obtain additional equipment.
In a recent quote, David Saylor, President of Saylor Wheel, said, “Two words come to mind regarding the start of Saylor Wheel: gratitude, and teamwork. Teamwork by the Delta Council, the Economic Development Foundation, the city, the county, the state of Mississippi, the USDA, our political leaders, our investors, the community development entities MRC and Southern Bancorp, and the numerous professionals that critically contributed to this project – they made this company a reality. My gratitude for their help exceeds my reach for words. Now is the time to make wheels in the Delta.”
