A Chinese flooring manufacturer on Wednesday became the third such company from the Asian powerhouse to unveil plans for a new plant in Northwest Georgia in the last six months.
Huali Floors, which makes luxury vinyl tiles, stone plastic composite, and wood plastic composite flooring, will set up its U.S. headquarters and a manufacturing facility in Murray County and create at least 315 jobs, according to Gov. Brian Kemp.
Huali Floors will invest more than $27 million in an existing facility, the governor said.
“It’s a testament to Georgia’s logistics network and readily available workforce when an innovative company like Huali Floors chooses Georgia to establish their first U.S. manufacturing operation,” he said.
Established in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province in 2002, Huali currently utilizes the Port of Savannah and plans to use the Appalachian Regional Port in Murray County, according to the state.
