Gov. Nathan Deal announced that Voestalpine Metal Forming will build a manufacturing facility near Cartersville in Bartow County creating 220 jobs.
The company will be investing $62 million in this new facility. It will be its first in the Southeast.
Bartow County's geographic advantages played a significant role in Voestalpine's decision to choose Bartow County for this new manufacturing operation, according to the governor's office.
"This project is significant for Georgia in many ways and is a great intersection of our aggressive efforts to attract leading manufacturers and international businesses," said GDEcD Commissioner Chris Cummiskey. "Voestalpine's decision to locate in Georgia is not only an important win for our high-performing logistics network and workforce, but also for our economic development partners working to make Georgia among the most competitive places to do business."
