Newnan's Yamaha to add 200 jobs

The Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation will transfer the bulk of its ATV work to Coweta County, adding another 200 jobs to the factory's 1,100-employee workforce, the company announced Wednesday.

Already, the Japanese all-terrain vehicle maker has added 90 jobs this year, according to a press release, and could boost the workforce by an additional 800 workers "if/when the factory ultimately reaches full capacity."

Yamaha is the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles, ATVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft and other recreational vehicles.
