Masonite's facility in Dickson is 198K square feet with approximately 164 employees operating with a two-shift team.

The plant opened in 1991 under the Ceco name and was purchased in 1996 by Masonite. We have been at the same location, One Premdor Dr. in the Industrial Park, for the past 21 years.

In 2007, all steel door production was moved into other Masonite facilities, making space available to consolidate all Masonite fiberglass entry door production into the Dickson plant.

For more than 60 years Shiloh Industries has been serving the automotive market by delivering innovative technologies and customer value. Today, the company's strategy is focused on "lightweighting", or reducing the weight of a vehicle, without compromising performance, safety, sound or efficiency. Weight reduction is directly related to fuel efficiency, thus better for the environment. In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (charged with writing and enforcing federal motor vehicle safety standards) has recently set standards to increase fuel economy levels to an average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. This trend towards more stringent standards puts more value on the need for "lightweighting without compromise".

Shiloh has over 2,000 employees located throughout the United States and Mexico. Headquartered in Valley City, Ohio, Shiloh's expertise is in advanced metal-processing which includes designing, developing and manufacturing products by laser welding, blanking, stamping, laminating, die casting, and machining. Of its 14 facilities, 9 are responsible for Engineered Metals, and 5 for aluminum die casting.

Shiloh's Dickson facility, part of the Engineered Metals segment, is located in an industrial park and is responsible for producing complex stampings and modular assemblies for a variety of automotive manufacturers including Nissan and Tier 1 suppliers. The plant houses transfer presses rated up to 2,000 tons and utilizes robotic welding and material handling.

The Dickson facility was acquired by Shiloh in 2000, having been originally built by A.G. Simpson in 1994. The 350 employees in the 240,000 square foot building work primarily on seat components and body structures. The facility has seen a 30-percent revenue growth since 2011 and is constantly busy with new product launches.

Shiloh Dickson is proud to serve as a corporate citizen contributing to the local community including its support of United Way. Employees are active volunteers in a cross-section of philanthropic activities and generously give their time and other resources.

Also, Shiloh believes in supporting the environment. Recently, the plant took the initiative and made a change to its lighting on the shop floor by implementing energy efficient lighting; thus, saving over $75,000 annually in electricity. Corporate wide, the company is always looking for ways to not only reduce the weight of a vehicle, but to minimize the impact of its carbon footprint. Shiloh looks forward to many more years of growth and success globally, and especially in Dickson, Tennessee.
