stow Group, an industrial storage and automation solution company, will invest $36 million to establish a new manufacturing presence and create approximately 200 new jobs in Gordon County.
"Georgia's reliable infrastructure network and strategic location ensure we remain a gateway to opportunity, and companies like stow Group are a big reason why our robust logistics industry continues to deliver results across the state," said Gov. Brian Kemp. "We look forward to this great job creator's impact on the community and critical industries throughout Georgia."
Based in Belgium, stow manufactures industrial racking systems and develops customized warehouse and storage solutions. The company is currently expanding into the U.S. and serves clients in logistics, food and beverage, life sciences, and other industries.
"This new production facility in Georgia will further strengthen stow's presence and support network in North America and bring us closer to existing and new customers," said Jos De Vuyst, CEO of stow Group. "Expanding our production footprint in the United States is a key milestone for stow Group. The new facility in Gordon County will allow us to serve our customers faster, enhance our local partnerships, and continue our commitment to innovation and sustainability."
"I am very excited to ramp up a highly automated production plant with the latest technologies in rack manufacturing," said Michael Morgenroth, Plant Manager at stow U.S. "Together with the state of Georgia and Gordon County, we are already working on training plans. We believe this will offer great career development opportunities for anyone in the local workforce who is interested in steel manufacturing."
stow's new manufacturing operations will comprise 240,000 sq. ft. of an existing building along Highway 41 near Adairsville. Operations are expected to begin in 2026. The company will be hiring for production roles related to profiling, stamping, welding, powder coating, automation, and assembly, as well as logistics, administrative, and management roles.
