FPIK
FPIK is a Japanese-American automotive manufacturer in Franklin, KY, producing precision parts for Toyota and Nissan as a subsidiary of Aisan Industry Co., a global automotive supplier founded in 1938. With a sister company in Mount Sterling (AIK) and a worldwide manufacturing network, FPIK brings serious institutional depth to a small Kentucky town — and they've recently made history as the first Aisan subsidiary to produce an EV component. Less than 3% turnover in hourly roles says something real about what it's like to work here.

What they're hiring for: Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Engineers, Safety and EHS professionals, Industrial Maintenance (facilities, die, HVAC, and electrical), procurement specialists, and Japanese translators. If you have strong technical experience in any of these areas, they want to hear from you — even outside of an active job listing.
On culture: FPIK's Japanese-American roots shape the workplace in meaningful ways — think disciplined, team-oriented, and built on long-term thinking. The company has deep ties to Toyota's organizational philosophy, and that shows in how they operate day-to-day. Employees who thrive here tend to value stability, process, and being part of something with real global context. It's a different rhythm than a typical American manufacturer, and for the right person, that's a major draw.
Relocation support: FPIK assembles personalized relocation packages based on your move distance and anticipated expenses, including temporary hotel stays and reimbursement for movers and mileage. A recent out-of-state hire from Arizona received approximately $6,000.
