Kentucky Smelting Technology, Inc., a joint venture between Toyota Tsusho America, Inc. and its parent company, Toyota Tsusho Corp., are locating a new 50,000 square foot aluminum smelting facility in Bourbon County, Ky.
The location of Kentucky Smelting Technology in Paris will allow the company to work in partnership with CMC/CLA, a manufacturer of aluminum wheels.
