Dadeville, AL – A new automotive supplier will soon move into the William T- Thweatt Industrial Park in Dadeville, bringing about 300 jobs.
Officials announced the South Korean-based firm, called Sejin Alabama, will be a supplier to Hyundai and the Kia Motors Company, which is currently building an automotive plant in West Point, Ga.
Don McClellan, director of the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance, said the new supplier is expected to go online in July of next year after it constructs a 102,000-square-foot building in the industrial park.
The supplier will start with 130 jobs and plans to add around 70 jobs during the following two years. Sejin Alabama intends to add another 100 jobs once the Kia plant begins operations in 2012.
