Kia's New Plant in Georgia
More "import" expansion to meet increasing sales, by building locally.
They could have probably bought the Ford Taurus plant for cheap!

the plant is probably too worn out from selling more sedans that anyone
else. "Jeff" > wrote in message ink.net... > > "who" > wrote in message > ... >> More "import" expansion to meet increasing sales, by building locally. >> They could have probably bought the Ford Taurus plant for cheap! > > > Why would they buy Ford's plant? They want something that is modern. > |

Interestingly this is crossposted into 3 groups where it isn't on
topic but not posted into alt.autos.kia where it would be on topic. -- Christian On Tue, 07 Nov 2006 01:30:45 GMT, who > wrote: >More "import" expansion to meet increasing sales, by building locally. >They could have probably bought the Ford Taurus plant for cheap! > >From Business Week: >> News & Features October 25, 2006, 3:1PM EST text size: TT >> Kia's New Plant >> Kia breaks ground on a new $1 billion plant in Georgia expected to open in >> late 2009 with an annual capacity of 300,000 vehicles >> >> For several hours last Friday, the population of West Point, Georgia swelled >> * albeit temporarily * by over 500 people who had come for the official >> ceremonial groundbreaking of Kiašs $1 billion factory. |

if they can supply good paying entry level jobs I'm sure the locals are more
than happy. I've lived in non factory states before and barely got by with entry level jobs with just a H.S. diploma. Now I live in Ohio and found out that you actually support your family by being willing to work and getting a job at an auto plant.

Yes let's legislate better working conditions and higher pay to drive the jobs overseas so you can blame the same people for that too. We know the liberal tactics - complain and blame no matter what is or is not done. Bill Putney (To reply by e-mail, replace the last letter of the alphabet in my address with the letter 'x') |
