Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced that Dongwon Autopart Technology plans to invest $30 million in a new production facility near Swainsboro. The company expects the project to create 200 jobs over the next several years.
Established in 1971, Dongwon Autopart Technology supplies components such as doorframes, seat frames and battery frames to automotive original equipment manufacturers. The company supports more than 500 direct jobs in the Southeast—including in Hogansville, Georgia—at facilities that will remain operational.
"Dongwon Autopart Technology has been in the United States since 2003, and we are proud to be part of growing the state’s automotive industry,” Human Resources Manager Heather Hollstein said.
Construction on the manufacturing facility will take place at the Hwy 297 Industrial Park near Swainsboro. The company plans begin hiring for several positions, including management, system leads and production personnel, in 2026.
Director of Project Implementation and Supplier Strategy Alyce Thornhill represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on this competitive project in partnership with the Emanuel County Development Authority, Georgia Ports Authority, Georgia Power and Georgia Quick Start.
