BAINBRIDGE — A new facility for a gun manufacturer will bring 300 jobs to South Georgia.

On Thursday, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp traveled to Bainbridge to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Taurus USA‘s 200,000 square foot manufacturing center and corporate headquarters, officially welcoming this leading firearms manufacturer to Georgia.

“To keep rural Georgia strong, I am laser-focused on bringing projects of regional significance to communities wanting to grow,” Kemp said. “Thanks to the dedicated work of Governor Nathan Deal and his team, this $22.5 million project represents a game-changing investment in Bainbridge and Decatur County. The 300 jobs created at this facility will benefit hardworking Georgians and their families throughout the entire region.”

Taurus Holdings Inc. is owned by Taurus Armas, S.A. which is a publicly traded company based in Brazil.
