Inalfa Roof Systems has opened its new assembly facility in Cherokee County. The new assembly facility, located at Cherokee 75 Corporate Park in Acworth, is part of the company's strategic expansion plan to double its efforts in technical innovation. According to a company press release, "In 2010 and 2011, as the North American market rebounded, it became clear that we needed to address the growing demand in the Southeast to satisfy our customers and growth of the business." Planning started for a new facility in 2012.

Inalfa Cherokee currently produces roof systems for BMW, Ford and Nissan programs, with plans to add GM business and glass encapsulation capabilities in 2015. Currently, more than 250 employees work at the Inalfa Cherokee facility. With the continued growth of the business, Inalfa Cherokee expects to grow beyond 400 employees by 2016.
