Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp has announced that Dongwon Autopart Technology plans to invest $30 million in a new production facility in Emanuel County. The automotive project is anticipated to create 200 new jobs over the next several years.
"Georgia's thriving automotive industry is creating new opportunities for Georgians statewide, no matter their zip code," said Governor Brian Kemp. "We are excited for this project to bring new jobs to Emanuel County and see its impact on this community for years to come."
Established in 1971, Dongwon Autopart Technology supplies components such as doorframes, seat frames, and battery frames to automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The company supports more than 500 direct jobs in the Southeast, including in Hogansville, GA, at facilities that will remain operational.
"Dongwon Autopart Technology has been in the United States since 2003, and we are proud to be part of growing the state's automotive industry-then and now," said Heather Hollstein, Human Resources Manager at Dongwon Autopart Technology. "Thank you to Emanuel County for welcoming us. We remain committed to excellence and supplying internal and external customers with the highest quality products and service."
Construction on Dongwon Autopart Technology's new manufacturing facility will be located at the Hwy 297 Industrial Park near Swainsboro. The company will be hiring for positions such as management, system leads, and production personnel. Hiring is expected to begin in 2026.
