He replaces M-H Lee, who will take a new position with Hyundai Motor Company in Korea. Lee was responsible for the strategic direction and management of the company's Alabama operations. Ahn takes over as production of the 2006 Sonata is increasing. The operation also already employs about two-thousand workers, and there are plans to add a second shift this summer.
