Finnish Firm Admares to build 2.5mm sq ft factory in S GA
Finnish Firm Admares' $750M Investment: A Beacon of Job Creation and Innovation in Georgia’s Housing Industry
Finland-based company Admares is taking an innovative leap in the housing and real estate market of the Southeastern U.S. The firm plans to erect its first U.S. manufacturing plant in Waycross, Georgia, an investment amounting to a substantial $750 million. This venture will not only create over 1,400 jobs but also promises to inject new energy into the home-building industry, particularly rural workforce housing, as Georgia Governor Brian Kemp noted.
Admares, which specializes in the industrial production of buildings utilizing proprietary technology, has a proven track record in both the residential and hospitality sectors. This technological prowess will be further amplified through strategic partnerships with Porsche Consulting, MHP — a Porsche company, and Siemens.
This advanced technology underpins a game-changing, robotic-driven manufacturing process that allows entire buildings to be produced in a factory rather than a traditional construction site. In the words of Mikael Hedberg, founder and CEO of Admares, the firm is aligning with successful practices common in other advanced industries.
One of the crucial factors driving the decision to establish the plant in Waycross was its excellent geographical positioning. The area offers seamless access to the Port of Brunswick and critical transportation networks such as major highways and rail connections. This access promises logistical ease for the company and can boost the operational activities and throughput at the Port of Brunswick, generating further economic growth for the region.
Admares' new plant will offer job opportunities across a range of roles, including administration, management, engineering, IT, logistics, assembly, robotics maintenance, and production. Interested candidates can find more information at www.admares.com.
Collaborating with the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Waycross and Ware County Development Authority, Georgia Power, and the Technical College System of Georgia’s Quick Start program, Admares' initiative promises substantial benefits to Georgia's coastal communities.
In sum, Admares' landmark investment is set to enhance the housing market, boost employment, spur economic development in Georgia’s coastal communities, and heighten activity at the Port of Brunswick. It marks a defining moment for the evolution of sustainable and affordable living in Brunswick and the broader Southeastern U.S., offering a model for future development.
