Georgia to Get New Auto Parts Assembly Plant

SAVANNAH, GA—Seoyon E-HWA, a global automotive supplier, will invest $76 million to build a new assembly plant here to make interior and exterior auto parts.

The new plant is expected to generate 740 new jobs. It will be the company’s second facility in the state.

“With its second Georgia facility, Seoyon is committing to nearly doubling the number of jobs it supports in the state and extending its partnership with our business community,” says Pat Wilson, Georgia’s Department of Economic Development commissioner.

The news came less than a year after Hyundai Motor Group announced plans to build its first U.S. electric vehicle and battery manufacturing facilities in Georgia, creating 8,100 new jobs.

“As anticipated, Hyundai’s new EV facility is drawing an experienced and dedicated supplier network to the region, adding to the state’s industry expertise and shaping a larger skilled workforce,” says Wilson.

Seoyon supplies door trim, head-liners, seats, bumpers and other parts to numerous OEMs, including Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Volkswagen.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
