Georgia's well-established automotive industry leverages Quick Start, the top workforce training program in the country, for cost-free training whenever and wherever manufacturers want it. In addition, automotive companies in Georgia reap the benefits of a century-long precedent of healthy industry best practices and a skilled automotive workforce. That strong automotive culture paved the way for Kia Motor Corporation to open its first U.S. manufacturing operations in West Point, Ga., and Porsche, Lotus and BBS to locate their North American headquarters here.

With a large workforce trained to produce world-class cars and automotive parts, robust tax incentives, and an unbeatable cargo-transportation network—including a 4,700-mile rail network, 130,000 miles of public roads, two deep-water sea ports and the world's busiest, most efficient airport and leader in air cargo—automotive companies in Georgia can enhance productivity, streamline cargo transportation, and gain competitive advantage. Plus, Georgia's central transportation corridor connects automotive manufacturers to automotive plants in neighboring states.
