A manufacturer of materials for the lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles will invest $800 million in a plant in Southwest Georgia that will create more than 400 jobs, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chicago-based Anovion Technologies supplies premium synthetic graphite, the largest battery material used in EVs by mass, exceeding copper, nickel, manganese, cobalt and lithium. The new 1.5-million-square-feet plant in Bainbridge will be the first of its size and scale in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to be opening our first large-scale expansion manufacturing facility in Georgia,\u201d Anovion CEO Eric Stopka said. \u201cThe state\u2019s strong technical workforce and top-tier schools will help advance research partnerships and contribute to a highly skilled talent pipeline in support of Anovion\u2019s drive for continued innovation and creation of exciting climate technology jobs of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGeorgia is fast becoming the e-mobility capital of the nation,\u201d Gov. Brian Kemp added. \u201cJob creators like them are recognizing that every corner of our state has the resources and workforce needed for success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two largest economic development projects in Georgia history are electric vehicle manufacturing plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyundai is investing $5.5 billion in a plant near Savannah in Bryan County<\/a> expected to generate 8,100 jobs when fully built out. Rivian\u2019s $5 billion plant east of Atlanta will create 7,500 jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppliers of electric vehicle batteries also are springing up across the state to serve the two EV manufacturing plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anovion will be hiring for a variety of technical, production, and engineering jobs, as well as administrative and management positions. Interested individuals can learn more about working at Anovion by visiting the company\u2019s website at www.anoviontech.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bainbridge plant is expected to begin operations in late 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n[mailerlite_form form_id=29]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
