Major KIA equipment arrives in Georgia

The first major assembly equipment for the Kia plant in west Georgia has arrived in the state. A ship with 3,500 tons of auto manufacturing equipment arrived in Savannah this week from South Korea. It will make its way across the state in the new few weeks, headed for the 1.2 billion dollar plant under construction in West Point. The equipment will be put together into two large presses that form various panels for the KIA vehicles.
