Ohio-based auto parts supplier building $127M manufacturing plant in Seguin

KTH Texas Inc. plans to build a $127 million manufacturing plant in Seguin, adding another major industrial tenant to the city’s growing Seguin Exchange development.

The Ohio-based automotive parts supplier said the project will create at least 125 full-time jobs by 2030, with the potential to grow to 173 positions. The company also said it expects to begin operations by the end of 2028.

Seguin City Council approved more than $3.6 million in incentives for the project, including a 10-year property tax abatement and a sales tax abatement. City leaders have framed the package as a way to secure capital investment and long-term employment for the area.

Project details

The plant will be built on more than 40 acres within the 544-acre Seguin Exchange development near Interstate 10 and FM 78. NewQuest is developing the broader site, which is designed to combine retail and industrial uses.

KTH Texas said it expects to invest $100 million by the end of 2028. The company’s plans make it the first announced industrial user at Seguin Exchange.

The deal gives Seguin another large manufacturing project as the city continues to court industrial investment. The reporting reviewed for this story did not include wage levels for the new jobs or a precise construction start date.

Corporate background

KTH Texas is part of KTH Parts Industries Inc., which is owned by Japan-based H-One. The company is described as an Ohio-based automotive parts supplier, tying the new Seguin site to a larger international manufacturing network.

The June reporting on Seguin Exchange had already identified KTH Parts Industries as the first announced industrial tenant and said infrastructure work at the development had begun. The new announcement fills in the scale of the plant, the job target and the city incentive package.

What comes next

The next milestones to watch are final site planning, construction timing and any formal groundbreaking announcement. Permitting and development updates at Seguin Exchange should show how quickly the project moves from announcement to construction.

Follow-up statements from KTH Texas, NewQuest or Seguin officials could also clarify hiring plans, wages and supplier impacts as the project advances.
