Automotive parts manufacturer specializing in interior trim and injection molding
Kasai NA manufactures interior automotive components (door trim, roof liners, trunk trim) via plastic injection molding for OEMs across North America. The company is executing a lean-ops transformation: 10 of its 15 active projects center on KPS (Kasai Production System) implementation, cost tracking, and wasteful-practice elimination, with heavy investment in staff training on these methodologies. Manufacturing roles dominate the hiring pipeline (26 of 45 active positions), signaling scaled production capacity buildout rather than product innovation.
Kasai NA is a Tennessee-based subsidiary of Kasai Kogyo Co. Ltd., a Japanese automotive supplier with four decades of history and global operations. The company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing facility handling design, engineering, tooling, injection molding, testing, and quality assurance for interior trim components sold to OEMs. The facility employs 1,001–5,000 people and uses SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, and PLC-based factory automation (Fanuc, Yaskawa robots) alongside standard enterprise tools (Infor ERP, Microsoft Office, Active Directory). Current operational focus is on continuous improvement through KPS deployment, scrap reduction, cost management, and process compliance.
