Korean Parts Supplier Opens Savannah Distribution Hub
Kyungshin America Corp. has selected the 20-million-square-foot Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub as the location of its new distribution center in Rincon, GA. The South Korea-based automotive part supplier will open a 136,000-square-foot facility in February as part of its production expansion.
Commercialsearch.com reports The Broe Group, along with its transportation affiliate, OmniTRAX, and Effingham County Industrial Development Authority, owns the 2,600-acre multimodal logistics park.
Kyungshin’s new facility will import and distribute automotive components to Hyundai Motor Group’s $7.5 billion electric vehicle plant in Savannah. The company is a certified Hyundai supplier and produces wire harnesses for automotive companies. Press reports suggest the move will also support the growing automotive manufacturing industry in the Southeastern U.S., as well as create approximately 70 new jobs and generate more than $22 million in investments in Effingham County.
