Hyundai Industrial is investing $24 million in a new manufacturing facility in Coweta County. Governor Brian Kemp announced Wednesday morning the facility will create 100 new jobs for Georgians.
The new facility near Newnan will produce arm and head rests for original equipment manufacturers, including the Hyundai Metaplant in Ellabell and the Kia West Point Assembly Plant.
“Partners like Kia and Hyundai are attracting a large network of suppliers, creating jobs and opportunity for hardworking Georgians across the entire state,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “These suppliers have now committed to bringing over 5,300 jobs to Georgia, mostly to communities outside of large urban areas, since last year's Hyundai Metaplant announcement. We're excited to welcome this latest addition to that growing list.”
Earlier this year, Kia invested more than $200 million to accommodate the assembly of one of their new vehicles. The investment created nearly 200 new jobs at the West Point plant.
