The jobs range from die-casting positions in the plant to management, maintenance technician and tool and quality engineering positions, said Terri MacConnell, KRD’s human resources manager.
“We are obtaining new business, new customers,” MacConnell said. The firm serves automotive, aerospace, appliance and other customers.
KRD has remained close enough to the automotive industry to benefit from the recent lift in domestic auto sales, but the company also serves foreign automakers, said Gary Grochowski, the company’s chief operating officer. The company is a Tier 1 supplier to General Motors and serves original equipment manufacturing suppliers to GM as well, he said.
“We’re very excited about it,” Grochowski said. “We’ve been seeing a lot of extended growth.”
The company has invested in two new die-casting cells, which Grochowski expects to see in use by early January.
Job interviews will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at Greene Works Employment and Training Center, 581 Ledbetter Road, Xenia, and again from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 24, also at Greene Works, the company said.
Affiliated with Kotobuki Die Casting in Osaka, Japan, the company began operating locally as Kotobuki-Reliable in November 2009. The company was known as Yoder Die Casting before the change in ownership.
