With Pace’s extensive and diverse customer base, Pace plans to grow the facility rapidly to meet its increasing customer demands.

“Our Vision is to become the premier die casting manufacturing and engineering solutions supplier serving customers within multiple sectors worldwide. This acquisition marks yet another exciting step in our journey to excellence,” said Donald Hampton, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Pace Industries. “We have great admiration for both the city of Jackson and the state of Tennessee.
