Georgia manufacturing companies expand, add jobs

Why Georgia and why grow now? There are several reasons. One is that those supply chain disruptions have led companies to bring operations in-house rather than outsource. Another factor is the nature of the business, for example, food manufacturing and ecommerce have seen rising customer demand. Some manufacturers also have had to diversify during the pandemic to stay in business, leading to investments in new equipment and workers.
