Notable foreign Investments in Georgia

Pirelli invested in Georgia

"Pirelli inaugurated the plant in Rome, Georgia in 2002, and we are proud to celebrate 20 years of business in Georgia this year. Pirelli chose the Rome location because a number of our major customers were moving to the Southeastern United States and we recognized the strategic location in terms of logistics for the US and abroad. The State of Georgia provided the company with a warm welcome and a longstanding friendship and partnership. Local authorities and business support networks have been responsive and solutions-focused."

Aurubis

“We are excited to welcome Aurubis as one of more than 500 German companies with operations in Georgia and congratulate our state and local economic development teams on bringing this sustainability-focused company to Augusta. As the largest single investment made by a German company in Georgia history, this groundbreaking represents what is made possible in the Peach State by our strong partnerships and world-class business assets.” - Governor Brian P. Kemp
