Another Hyundai supplier is coming soon to the Savannah area.
On Tuesday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp’s office announced Hanon Systems, which specializes in automotive climate control systems, will invest more than $40 million for a manufacturing facility in Bulloch County. The move is expected to create 160 jobs.
“Georgia’s automotive and e-mobility industries continue to grow as we proudly welcome Hanon Systems to Georgia,” said Kemp. “As our state furthers its position as the EV capital of America, new jobs and opportunities like these are coming to hardworking Georgians all over the state and will continue to do so.”
The facility will be located at Gateway Regional Industrial Park and is expected to open in May 2024. Hyundai's EV assembly plant and battery manufacturing facility, under construction near Ellabell in Bryan County, will open in late 2024.

“Statesboro-Bulloch County is honored by Hanon Systems’ decision to locate its new facility here,” said Billy Allen, chair of the Development Authority of Bulloch County. “We are excited to welcome another automotive supplier to our community, particularly one that will be working closely with the Hyundai Metaplant and the electric vehicle industry. This decision is another example of the resources offered by our community and region to help companies succeed.”
This is the third supplier to plant roots in Bulloch County. Joon Georgia Inc. is investing $317 million into a facility that will manufacture the frame for Hyundai vehicles. Ecoplastic will invest more than $200 million for a facility that will make consoles, bumpers and more. The auto parts manufacturer will bring more than 450 jobs to the area.
“In Georgia, suppliers like Hanon Systems are able to successfully support larger industry ecosystems, thanks to partnership-driven solutions ranging from workforce training to logistics systems efficiencies,” said Pat Wilson, commissioner for the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “Bulloch County, as part of the Savannah Harbor-Interstate 16 Corridor Joint Development Authority, has been a part of this growing success story from the beginning. It’s rewarding to see how Georgia’s history of partnership continues to create opportunity for current and future generations.”
