Primary Content
Gov. Brian Kemp says a brake manufacturer based in South Korea plans to open its first North American manufacturing facility in McDonough.
Kemp announced on Wednesday the new 220,000-square-foot facility for Sangsin Technology America, and said the $20-million plant will create about 200 jobs.
Sangsin was founded in 1975 and is now Korea's largest brake manufacturer, serving more than 90 countries, according to Kemp's news release.
“I am excited that Sangsin Technology America chose to expand its North American footprint in Georgia,” Kemp said. “More and more companies from across the globe are calling the Peach State home, and we are confident our state’s longstanding relationship with Korea will continue to bring significant job and investment opportunities to our state.”
Sangsin Chairman Hyoil Kim called Georgia a "clear-cut winner."
The chair of the Henry County Development Authority, Pierre Clements, said the county has worked to attract manufacturing and international companies to the area. Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Pat Wilson called the move "a testament to Georgia’s strong manufacturing network."
