A German auto parts company plans to build a new plant in Hart County in Northeast Georgia, state and company officials said Wednesday.
Häring makes fuel injection parts and other components. The company expects to create 800 jobs over the next 11 years, according to a news release. Häring plans to invest $54 million as part of the project over five years, and the facility will include a manufacturing plant and training center.
“As our state’s automotive industry grows and manufacturing companies continue to invest, I am confident that Häring will find the support it needs to successfully serve its customers around the world and remain competitive in the marketplace,” Gov. Nathan Deal said in the release.
State officials said there are more than 120 auto companies have invested billions in the state within the past six years. Automotive firms employ 18,000 people in the state, according to the release.
Georgia economic development chief Chris Carr said Häring “is a great addition to our growing number of automotive manufacturers. Our solid logistics infrastructure, direct access to leading original equipment manufacturers and skilled talent will continue to support Häring in growing its presence in the Southeast.”
