Hyundai supplier in Emanuel County
The ripple effects of the new Hyundai Meta Plant near Savannah are beginning to be felt in Emanuel County. On Monday of this week, representatives of the Blade spoke with Kukhui Yu, a Director at Total Solution Georgia LLC. TSG is a supplier of specialty equipment that will be a part of the manufacturing process at the new Hyundai Auto Assembly plant in Bryan County. Ms. Yu took time out of a busy day to provide an update on the company’s progress since their January start in Swainsboro. Locating in a former warehouse on High-way 80 East, she commented that TSG initially focused on repurposing the existing building to its new role. That was a big job, and it was done on a very ambitious schedule. Hyundai Motor Group recently moved up its start date for producing new vehicles at the massive Georgia plant to late 2024. Today, TSG is in production and has more than 20 employees and expects that number to grow. The company operates a similar facility in Alabama. In 2023, South Korean companies and suppliers invested over 12 billion dollars in Georgia, and it’s nice to see a ripple showing up in our community. Welcome TSG!
