Alabama firms providing parts for the state's auto industry see Volkswagen's plan for an assembly plant in neighboring Tennessee as a chance to expand.
About 20 industry recruiters from several Alabama cities plan to spend this week in Germany courting Volkswagen suppliers. A Tennessee delegation went on a similar mission last week.
In July, Chattanooga, Tenn. won the $1 billion assembly plant that had been sought for Huntsville, Ala.
