Two Million Vehicles Produced At KMMG

The two millionth vehicle to be produced at the Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, Inc. (KMMG) has officially rolled off the assembly line. This plant first opened its doors on November 16, 2006 in West Point, Georgia, and in the six years since then this plant has had a large impact for both Kia sales in the U.S. and for the local community surrounding the plant. The creation of this plant led to over 15,000 jobs in the West Point, GA area thus boosting employment and the local economy. For Kia, this plant is now responsible for more than 40 percent of the Kia vehicles that are sold annually throughout the U.S.

“Assembling two million vehicles in less than seven years is a remarkable achievement, and one that each of our team members can take a lot of pride in,” said KMMG President and CEO Hyun-Jong Shin. “The world-class quality that goes into every Sorento CUV and Optima midsize sedan we build is a direct result of the hard work and commitment of our team members, and today we salute their commitment to excellence.”  

Along with this impressive production achievement, KMMG is also celebrating its highest-ever ranking in the J.D. Power’ Initial Quality Study. In the most recently released study they placed in the top five amongst vehicle assembly plants.
