KIA Motors Manufacturing Georgia Plant Tour - 8:30am 

GMA is pleased to provide unique manufacturing plant tours of industry leaders in all regions of Georgia. These tours help grow our community and build strategic alliances with other manufacturers. By sharing solutions to common challenges and identifying best practices we are building stronger businesses in Georgia.


Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG) is the first manufacturing site in North America for Kia Motors Corporation based in Seoul, Korea. KMMG is located on 2,200 acres in West Point, Georgia.

The Kia Sorento has taken off as the most successful Kia vehicle of all-time in the U.S., leading the way with record-breaking sales since production began. This is a testament to the focus and pride each KMMG team member places on building a quality vehicle.

People are the heart and soul of this company. The ongoing devotion of our Team Members greatly contributes to the remarkable success of Kia in both quality and sales.

KMMG has now hired more than 3,000 team members at its West Point location. When factoring in positions created at suppliers throughout the region, more than 10,000 jobs have been created in association with KMMG.

In April of 2011, KMMG began a $100 million expansion project that would increase the plant’s capacity from 300,000 to more than 360,000 vehicles per year, starting in 2012.

On Sept. 2, 2011, KMMG officially began mass production of its second Kia product, the 2012 Optima and now has three full shifts operating at the plant 24 hours a day/five days per week.

Due to high demand and plant security, registration will close on Wednesday February 10th at 4pm!
