COLQUITT, GA—Grupo Vialume, a manufacturer of reflective raised pavement markers, will invest $4.4 million to build a new assembly plant here, creating 150 new jobs over the next seven years.
Based São Paulo, Brazil, Grupo Vialume is a family-owned company that has grown to become one of the top five manufacturers of pavement markers worldwide.
“We are thrilled to expand our manufacturing footprint into Colquitt, GA. This decision reflects the growing demand for sustainable products, the strength of our supplier base in the United States, and the greater ease of exporting to our commercial partners,” says João Paulo Moura, CEO of Grupo Vialume. “Combined with attractive tax incentives, the stability of the U.S. dollar, and the security of investing in such a strong market, Colquitt offers the ideal environment for Grupo Vialume.”
Grupo Vialume’s new integrated manufacturing and recycling hub will produce both plastic raised pavement markers and precision-engineered reflective lenses. The facility will also pioneer new circular-economy processes by transforming materials once considered unrecyclable, including textile offcuts and peanut-shell byproducts, into high-value products and raw materials.
The company will be hiring for production workers, injection machinists, salespersons, logistics experts, and management positions.Looking for quick answers on assembly and manufacturing topics? Try Ask ASM, our new smart AI search tool. Ask ASM
