E-mobility manufacturer to build plant in Augusta
Ƈ GF Casting Solution produces parts for light passenger vehicles, as well as aerospace and energy components.
One of the world’s leading producers of lightweight components in the automotive and aerospace industries will invest $184 million in a new manufacturing plant in Augusta, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Friday.
GF Casting Solutions, based in Switzerland, will create 350 jobs at the facility in Richmond County.
“Having met the great team at GF Casting Solutions during our recent mission to Switzerland, we could not be more excited to welcome them to the Peach State,” Kemp said. “Congratulations to Augusta and Richmond County for securing these jobs of the future for Georgians.”
GF Casting Solutions, a division of Georg Fischer AG, develops and produces parts made from aluminum, magnesium, iron, and super alloy for light passenger vehicles, trucks, and off-highway vehicles, as well as components with aerospace and energy applications.
“The new facility will complete our footprint to become truly global in the e-mobility market,” said Carlos Vasto, the company’s president. “We are looking forward to bringing leading technology to the U.S. and to creating advanced manufacturing jobs for several generations in Georgia.”
The company is looking to hire workers for manufacturing and automation, with jobs being posted as they become available. For information on job opportunities with GF Casting Solutions, click on www. georgfischer.com/en/ career.html.

The economic development agency’s Global Commerce team worked on the project in partnership with the Augusta Economic Development Authority, Georgia Power, the State of Georgia Europe Office, and the Technical College System of Georgia’s Quick Start program.
Operations are expected to begin in 2027.
