Kia Motors begins production at its first manufacturing plant in the U.S.
Online, December 9, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Ed Napleton Kia of Elmhurst is proud to share with you the great news that Kia Motors commenced production of their $1 billion manufacturing plant, with a Sorento being the first Kia vehicle made in USA. The plant is called Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG) and is the first official Kia Motors plant in USA. The estimated production for KMMG is 300,000 vehicles when the plant is operating at full capacity and it is no surprise that it is spread across 2,200 acres and uses the latest state-of-the-art know-how.
The KMMG will be employing around 2,500 people, and with a domino effect that such new plants initiate, can lead to the creation of 7,500 additional jobs in the region. This manufacturing facility in the United States reinforces the commitment Kia Motors has towards the local economy. Since 2002, Kia Motors has invested more than US$ 1.3 billion in various facilities throughout the country. In the past decade, Kia Motors has expanded to a full product line-up of vehicles and corresponding market share growth, including a 50 percent increase in October 2009.
