Georgia Governor Brian Kemp recently announced that Shinsung Petrochemical (Shinsung), an automotive supplier, would be creating a new manufacturing facility in Toombs County, investing $11.2 million and creating more than 30 new jobs.
“Eighty-three percent of expansions and new locations from the past fiscal year are on their way to rural communities, delivering more than 18,300 new jobs and $12.5 billion in investment to hardworking Georgians in communities like Toombs County,” said Kemp. “We are excited that Shinsung is joining that growing network of suppliers locating in rural communities and creating new opportunities for all to succeed, no matter their zip code.”
Shinsung was established in 1974 and specializes in products like automotive sealant. The company is expected to be a key supplier for Hyundai Motor Group and the Metaplant in Bryan County.
The new manufacturing facility will be located at 1407 Highway 1 North in Lyons and construction is expected to finish in 2025.
“We enjoyed visiting the location of our future facility in Lyons this week and celebrating our next step in the state of Georgia with our new partners in the community,” said Chan Woo Park, COO of Shinsung. “We look forward to joining Georgia’s network of automotive suppliers, providing adhesive and sealant solutions for manufacturers nearby. We are excited to be in Toombs County in Georgia.”
As stated in a press release from Kemp’s office, “For over a century, Georgia has fostered healthy industry practices, encouraged collaboration and innovation, and positioned itself as a leader in developing and harnessing emerging technologies for the evolving mobility and energy industries. Since 2018, Georgia has attracted more than 36,000 new jobs and over $28 billion in investments in the e-mobility, clean energy, and battery-related supply chains.”
