West Point will be the home of the new KOPLA manufacturing plant.

A Korean based automotive manufacturer is opening its first U.S.-based manufacturing facility in West Point. KOPLA will be creating 150 new jobs and investing $15 million into the project by 2018, announced Governor Deal.

“We are proud that Korea’s presence in our state continues to grow,” said Gov. Deal. “Our booming automotive industry and key business resources create a perfect location for KOPLA and we have no doubt that this state-of-the-art automotive manufacturer will continue to succeed.”

KOPLA will be constructing a 100,000 square foot facility in the Northwest Harris Business Park. The plant will supply engineering plastics resin to leading automobile manufacturers across the U.S.
