A Malibu Boats banner now covers the AmTech sign on State Highway 22, just west of Alexander City limits. The plant was acquired on Feb. 1.

A boat manufacturer closed on its acquisition of Coosa County plant AmTech earlier this month and has set a target for 60 new employees, according to the subsidiary's general manager.

Malibu Boats, based in Loudon, Tennessee, had relied on AmTech's wiring harnesses — a cluster of electrical cables that powers the various parts of a vehicle — for six years before deciding to purchase the facility just outside Alexander City limits.
