GF Casting Solutions AG, a company specializing in the production of lightweight components for the mobility and energy sectors, has announced plans to invest more than $184 million in the construction of a new facility in Augusta. This significant investment demonstrates the company’s commitment to expanding its operations and further establishing its presence in the region. The decision to establish a new facility in Augusta is a strategic move that will enable GF Casting Solutions AG to capitalize on the growing demand for its innovative products in the market. This expansion will not only create job opportunities for the local community but also contribute to the economic growth of the region.
“Bringing opportunities to communities in every corner of the state, Georgia takes pride in being recognized as the No. 1 state for business,” said Kemp in a statement. “During our recent mission to Switzerland, we had the pleasure of meeting the exceptional team at GF Casting Solutions. We are thrilled to welcome them to the Peach State. Congratulations to Augusta and Richmond County for securing these future job opportunities for the people of Georgia.”
The project has the potential to generate 350 new employment opportunities in Richmond County.
