This facility is the only Kia manufacturing plant in the United States and the only automaker in Georgia. With an annual capacity of more than 350,000 vehicles, Kia Georgia is home of the Telluride, Sorento, Sportage, and the K5 midsize sedan, some of the brand’s top-selling models in the United States. This advanced manufacturing facility represents a total investment of $2.8 billion on a 2,200 acre site and employs 3,200 team members.
Kia Georgia has produced more than 4 million vehicles since they began mass production in November 2009. Tour attendees will see the entire manufacturing process -- from rolled metal all the way to the finished product using high-tech stamping, weld shop advanced robotics, and highly automated assembly processes to produce the finished vehicle. They produce a vehicle every 52 seconds utilizing three full shifts operating at the plant 24 hours a day/five days per week.
