Governor Brian P. Kemp recently announced that Sangsin Technology America, a leading global brake friction materials and replacement parts manufacturer, will create 200 jobs and invest $20 million in its first North American manufacturing facility in McDonough. Governor Kemp stopped by Sangsin’s booth at the Technology & Maintenance Council (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition (TMC 2019) at the Georgia World Congress Center today to celebrate the news.

  “I am excited that Sangsin Technology America chose to expand its North American footprint in Georgia,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “More and more companies from across the globe are calling the Peach State home, and we are confident our state’s longstanding relationship with Korea will continue to bring significant job and investment opportunities to our state.”

  “Henry County welcomes Sangsin Technology America to our community,” said June Wood, Chair of the Henry County Board of Commissioners. “The company’s decision to choose Henry County for its first U.S. manufacturing operation is indicative of our ongoing commitment to be a global destination for business.”

  Sangsin Technology America will serve as a magnet for suppliers that produce heavy duty brake systems through the North America Brake Industry (HDNABI) company headquartered in Norcross, GA. HDNABI is a privately-held, North American-based supplier of undercarriage systems to the heavy-duty trucking industry, including truck, trailer and bus vehicle segments for both the OEM production and related aftermarkets.

  “We are proud that Sangsin Technology America calls Henry County home,” said Pierre Clements, Chair of the Henry County Development Authority. “We have purposely worked to attract more manufacturing and international companies that can leverage our strategic location and skilled workforce to accomplish their business objectives.”   For more information on the Henry County Development Authority, visit www.ChooseHenry.com.
