KIA, Suppliers Promise Fall Rollout, Despite Sluggish Economy

Kia Motors’ HR chief Randy Jackson says the Korea-based automaker is still on track to open their 2-million sq.-ft. West Point facility in late ’09.

“We’re still hanging our hat on that launch date late this year,” Jackson told GlobalAtlanta.
The company is working closely with Georgia’s Quick Start to train and qualify some 2,500 production line workers to build SUV’s at the $1.2 billion facility, as well as more than 6,000 employees for a number of tier-one suppliers.
