Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) and SK On have selected a site in Bartow County for a new electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing facility that will supply HMG's plants in the US.
Earlier in May, HMG separately announced its plans to invest $5.54 billion in its Metaplant America, an EV manufacturing facility in Bryan County.
A press release from the company noted that subject to the execution of relevant agreements and HMG and SK On's final board decisions, the new facility will be located at Bartow Centre, a zoned manufacturing and industrial site on Highway 411, and is aiming to begin operations in 2025.
The new facility is expected to create more than 3,500 new jobs through approximately $4-5 billion of investment in Bartow County. The project will have regional benefit for job seekers in the area and establishes Bartow in Georgia’s EV ecosystem significantly.
Notably, Georgia’s prime location, major ports system and extensive infrastructure, skilled workforce, and pro-business climate have made it an attractive location for a diverse array of rapidly developing industries focused on creating a sustainable future.
