Project Overview
Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America, the key pillar of the Group’s $12.6 billion investment in Georgia and the largest economic development project in the state’s history, is now open.
The vehicle assembly and battery plant will produce up to 500,000 electric and hybrid vehicles annually for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis brands.
Hyundai Motor Group committed to an additional $21 billion investment from 2025 to 2028 to drive U.S. manufacturing growth.
Since entering the U.S., Hyundai Motor Group has invested $20.5 billion in the U.S., creating directly and indirectly more than 570,000 American jobs.
Bader Studios was on site at the plant along with Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung, Governor Brian P. Kemp, U.S. Representative Buddy Carter, Hyundai Motor Group Vice Chair Jaehoon Chang, Hyundai Motor Company President and CEO José Muñoz, Kia Corporation President and CEO Ho Sung Song.
The Group's investment in Georgia related to this plant and joint battery ventures with LG Energy Solution and SK On is $12.6 billion. This represents the largest single investment in the state's history and includes a total of 8,500 jobs at Hyundai by 2031. The Group’s total investments in Georgia are expected to create nearly 40,000 direct and indirect jobs, and $4.6 billion in individual earnings every year, according to the Center for Automotive Research.
As of the end of 2024, more than $2.5 billion in capital investment and approximately 6,900 jobs have been announced by Hyundai's suppliers in 12 counties across the state. This more than doubles the additional $1 billion investment by suppliers that was originally anticipated.
