This week, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp announced a South Korea-based auto parts maker will build its first U.S. manufacturing plant in Georgia.

Woory Industrial Co. will invest an estimated $18 million in a facility in Dublin that will create more than 130 jobs. The company specializes in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning components for both electric and internal combustion vehicles.

“We’re proud to welcome Woory Industrial as the latest job creator to help us on the path to becoming the e-mobility capital of the nation,” Kemp said. “This emerging industry continues to bring historic levels of new jobs and investment to communities all over the state, thanks to our highly skilled workforce and reliable infrastructure network.”

The company also is working to develop other new products for EVs as well as hydrogen-fueled vehicles. Woory will be hiring for positions from all fields necessary for an automotive parts plant. Interested individuals can learn more about employment opportunities at www.woory.com.

The new plant is expected to begin operations in November.
