AXN Automotive Systems Secures USMCA Certification for Kentucky Plant

The certification arrives shortly after the company transitioned to a new manufacturing site in Louisville during the spring of 2026. This facility now serves as a central hub for the company's regional strategy, with the capacity to output 100,000 axles annually for both original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket sector. The site currently sustains 60 jobs, with expectations for workforce expansion as production ramps up over the coming decade.

Renato Franco, Managing Director of Randoncorp USA, noted that the designation serves as a validation of the company's focus on local manufacturing infrastructure. AXN, a subsidiary of the global mobility firm Randoncorp, specializes in trailer components including suspensions and slider subframes. By aligning with USMCA requirements, the firm intends to offer customers a more stable and reliable source for heavy-duty trailer hardware across the continent.
