A German automotive supplier plans to build a factory the northeast Georgia city of Toccoa where it will create about 200 jobs over the next several years, the company and Gov. Nathan Deal’s office said Tuesday.

NIFCO KTW plans to make injection-molded parts at the facility. The company’s customers include BMW, which has a factory in South Carolina, and Mercedes-Benz USA, which has a factory in Alabama. The state has made a renewed effort to attract German auto suppliers to tap into the supply chain of auto plants in neighboring states.

The new factory will be built on 32 acres, and the company plans to invest $27 million in the project over the next five years, the news release said.
