Appendix: Southeastern Auto Assembly and Component Manufacturers Employing 50 or More ………………………………………………………..…19 Overview
Since the 1909 opening of Ford Motor Company’s Hapeville plant, the automotive industry has been an important part of Georgia’s economy. Family-owned Blue Bird began operations in 1927 with facilities in LaFayette and Fort Valley and in 1947, General Motors opened its Doraville plant. Today, the automotive and related industries employ over 41,000 Georgians. The motor vehicle and motor vehicle equipment industries alone contribute over $2.6 billion to the state’s gross product.
Moreover, the industry is having a profound impact on the economy of the Southeast overall. Since 1990, four major assembly plants have opened across the region. The Honda plant in Lincoln, Alabama saw its first vehicle roll off the assembly line in December of 2001. An additional facility, Nissan in Jackson, Mississippi is slated to open in the summer of 2003. In Hinesville, Georgia, eMotion Mobility is making plans for the 2004 opening of its electric vehicle production line. Over 231,000 workers in 1,323 facilities across the region produce motor vehicles and motor vehicle components. Several foreign-owned automobile manufacturers have chosen to take advantage of Georgia’s many business-friendly attributes and transport capabilities by selecting the state for U.S. headquarters operations. Porche, Saab, Lotus and Daewoo are among those locating in Georgia.
An abundant, trainable workforce, a vast supply of affordable land for expansion, and proximity to major transportation hubs originally brought the world’s premier automotive manufacturers south. These same assets draw producers today. In June of 2001, Business Facilities Magazine ranked Georgia as the second best location in the United States for the growing automotive industry based on related employment growth. The slow deterioration of the region’s textile industry has freed up an eager, production-oriented work force. While never a huge presence in the South, organized labor influence has steadily declined over the past 20 years, resulting in a largely independent work force. The region’s robust population growth, mainly due to in- migration, constantly replenishes the supply of potential workers. Competitively priced land, construction costs and operating costs continue to make the South one of the country’s most fiscally attractive places to locate. Atlanta’s world-class airport, extensive rail and highway systems and bustling international ports of Brunswick and Savannah connect the region to consumers all over North America and the world. Being closely connected to world economies is paramount in the automobile industry’s increasingly competitive and global market.
Now, as the South’s population and economic growth outpace that of other areas, producers find themselves favorably located in the U.S. market place as well. Georgia is centrally positioned in the middle of the country’s largest motor vehicle market with year 2000 sales of over 6.5 million cars and trucks.
1 Growing industry globalization and consolidation force automotive industry participants to seek a competitive edge. Often location makes all the difference. Proximity to customers, end-use markets, skilled labor, and international transportation capabilities have become more important than ever. The following discussion of current production, the region’s work force, market potential and transportation alternatives illustrates why Georgia continues to be one of the top locations for automotive industry expansion.

2 Production
Although total motor vehicle production has Percentage Share of Motor Vehicle Industry leveled off in recent years, the southeastern Production in 2000 states of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and Tennessee continue to garner a substantial Southeastern States percentage of overall U.S. production. In 2000 these 6% Georgia states combined to represent 10 percent or 1.26 4% million of the 12.6 million cars and light trucks produced.
Production in the Southeast shows no signs of slowing. In the next few years, production from Honda’s Lincoln, Alabama facility, opened in 2001, Other and Nissan’s Jackson, Mississippi plant, coming on Producing line in 2003, will bolster the region’s numbers even States 90% more. Mercedes in Vance, Alabama has expanded twice since opening in 1997 and plans to further increase production to 160,000 vehicles annually by 2004. Nissan in Smyrna, Tennessee will add Source: Automotive News, Market Data Book 2001 2,000 jobs so the plant can produce the popular Maxima in addition to its current models. eMotion Mobility’s new electric vehicle assembly plant in Hinesville Georgia, near Savannah, will begin operation some time in 2004.
In terms of vehicle units produced, Georgia ranked second in the region and ninth in the nation in 2000. Top Ten Auto and Light Truck Producing States, 2000

3 Anchoring these significant numbers for Georgia are four major assembly plants employing over 8,400 workers. Georgia’s Automotive Assembly Plants Company Locations Types of Vehicles General Motors North Metro Atlanta -- Chevrolet Venture Doraville Pontiac Montana Oldsmobile Silhouette Ford South Metro Atlanta -- Fort Taurus Hapeville Mercury Sable Blue Bird Corp. Fort Valley School Buses Lafayette Recreational Vehicles
Together these assemblers help Georgia and the Southeast maintain a stronghold for the production of motor vehicles while creating a substantial local market for the region’s automotive component manufacturers. Large and small operations are taking advantage of the South’s growing component market. Georgia alone has over 150 larger (companies employing 50 or more) components manufacturers.
Since the announced opening of the Honda plant in Lincoln, Alabama, in the northeastern part of the state, a number of component manufacturers have located in Georgia. In all, five Georgia companies supply parts to the Lincoln plant. These suppliers have invested $188 million and created 2,100 jobs according to Georgia’s Department of Industry, Trade and Tourism.1
In the Southeast, auto component manufacturers with 50 or more employees number over 600. A complete listing can be found in the Appendix. A map locating Georgia auto-related companies with 100 or more employees is found on the following page.
During 2001, several automotive industry companies came to Georgia. The addition of these operations has helped increase the state’s industry presence and provide additional materials support for companies already residing in Georgia and surrounding states.

5 The South’s strong work force draws automotive manufacturers to the region. Nissan Senior Vice President of North American Manufacturing, Emil Hassan, said his company decided “from the beginning” to locate its first North American plants in the Southeast because “it was the best location for having a good, reliable, trainable work force.” Hassan believes that “if you have good people, other things will follow.” Robert Hitt, a spokesman for BMW, said his company chose its Greer, South Carolina manufacturing location for a number of reasons including the area’s reputation for a strong work ethic. 2
In the past, some have argued that rural southern workers would have a difficult time matching the quality and efficiency levels of veteran automotive workers elsewhere in the country. According to industry measurements from J.D. Power and Associates and Harbour and Associates, just the opposite is true. “Even the newly trained workers of Toyota’s Kentucky Camry plant and Nissan’s Sentra and pickup plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, built vehicles at higher quality and productivity levels than their highly skilled U.S. competitors.”3
Over the past two years, Ford’s Hapeville, Georgia plant has rated first and second respectively in Harbour & Associates’ efficiency ranking of auto plants. Additionally, the Hapeville plant was top ranked among Big Three auto makers’ plants last year on J.D. Power’s quality report card.4
Employment Despite industry consolidation, competition from offshore competitors and increased mechanization Georgia’s automotive work force is growing. As of 2001, 42,465 employees representing nearly every SIC work in auto-related industries. These workers comprise 7 percent of all manufacturing employment in the state. In 1997, auto related employment represented 5.4 percent of total manufacturing jobs.

The Southeast overall has also experienced an increase in the number of automotive related employees. However, automotive employment as a percentage of total manufacturing employment has declined since 1997. Auto-related industries in the region employed 226,000 people in 1997, or 7.3 percent of total Southeastern manufacturing employment. As of 2001, automotive related workers represent 7 percent of all manufacturing employment in the region, roughly 231,000 workers.

7 To capture the entire picture of auto-related employment, several major SIC groups must be used. For example, a tire manufacturer would not be classified under SIC 37 for transportation equipment, but rather under SIC 30 for Rubber and Miscellaneous Plastics Products. Therefore, the numbers in the following chart constitute only the auto-related employees within the six major SIC groups employing 1,000 or more, not the total employment for that category.
Georgia’s Major Auto-Related Segments Employing 1,000 or More
Chemicals & Others Textiles Allied Products 5% 5% 3% Rubber/Plastics 19%
Transportation Primary Equipment Metals 38% 5% Fabricated Metals 5%
Electronics Industrial 11% Machinery, etc. 9%
Source: Georgia Manufacturing Directory, 2001
As one would expect, the transportation equipment classification (SIC 37) accounts for the most significant portion of auto-related employment in Georgia. About 38 percent of auto-related employment in the state falls into this category. Rubber/Plastics and Electronics together make up another 30 percent of the total auto-related employment. These numbers point to not only a solid assembly workforce, but also an extensive labor base for equipment supplier classifications.
8 Wages As illustrated by the previous chart, four SICs make up the majority of auto-related employment and thus should be the most indicative of the major trends in wages. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that for companies in these SICs, Georgia’s 2000 weekly wage rates averaged approximately $143.00 below the national average.
2000 Average Weekly Wage Rates for SICs with Significant Auto-Related Employment
$1,200 $1,096 Georgia U.S. $1,025 $1,035 $995 $1,000 $917

9 Unionization While employment in auto-related industries remains strong, union membership has been declining slightly in the state. The total number of unionized workers in the major auto industry related organizations, the United Auto Workers and the Teamsters, is about 8,000 or less than 19 percent of the 42,465 auto-related workers in the state.
Robert Neubert, Ernst & Young’s National Director for Manufacturing Industry Services, says the South is becoming more and more attractive to industry because of the region’s limited union presence. “It’s clear that the flexibility of the work force is much higher in the South than in some of the Northern states,” where unionized workers might resist new plans that alter workers’ roles and threaten job security.5
Enrollment Trends in Auto-Related Union Organizations

5 The Atlanta Journal and Constitution, “Fueling the Economy” part of “2001 Southern Economic Survey”, Janiua Poe, April 8, 2001 10 Training Some automotive industry experts say the South’s work force training programs are its biggest draw. Sean McAlinden, a director at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan, said that Southern states go beyond tax incentive packages that are typically offered in the North and Midwest by funding training programs tailored to fit the needs of individual companies. McAlinden says that “the training is probably much more important than the tax incentives, especially to international companies.”6
Georgia’s Quick Start program provides job specific training at no cost for new and expanding companies. Quick Start, a division of the Georgia Department of Adult and Technical Education, has trained over 325,000 employees for over 3,100 companies since 1967. In October 2001, Expansion Management magazine named Georgia the nation’s top state for work force training – an honor largely due to the success of Quick Start programs.
Companies like Siemens Energy & Automation have found Quick Start to be an integral part of the success of their Georgia operations. According to Terry Pissell, Plant Manager, "The outstanding work of the Quick Start team helped our Siemens Dahlonega facility get up and running last year. Each member was extremely professional and dedicated to our goals. With their efforts, we were able to staff, train and orient a large group of employees with minimal or no adverse effect on our customers. I would highly recommend any industry beginning operation or adding a large number of staff to consider taking advantage of the many helpful programs offered by Quick Start."
Charlie Johnson, President and COO of Cessna Aircraft has stated that finding, attracting, and especially training good people are the hardest things for employers to do. Quick Start helped fulfill his organization’s training needs. He was particularly impressed with the speedy integration of trained workers, the quality of training and the training materials. He largely credits the Quick Start program with the company’s outstanding first time start-up.
Don Wieser, Vice President of Manufacturing at Kubota Manufacturing of America Corporation, Gainesville, Georgia, credits the effectiveness of the Quick Start training program with his operation’s low turnover rate, which has been below 1 percent over the past five years.7
Automotive industry companies like Cooper Tire & Rubber, PPG Industries, ZF Industries, and Tenneco Automotive have taken advantage of Georgia’s Quick Start incentive.

In 2001, U.S. automobile makers sold around 17.2 million cars and light trucks, with over 35 percent of that volume generated in the South. Although western states have experienced the greatest annual growth in auto purchases, forecasters predict that the South will continue to be the auto industry’s strongest North American market.

In the South, healthy population growth shows no signs of slowing, further supporting a continued strong market. Historically, automotive manufacturers have considered consumers between the ages of 15 and 44 to be their primary targets. This age group represents 42 percent of the southeastern population.

13 Population projections for 2006 show the Southeast will continue to track the U.S. percentages for this age group. As baby-boomers age, automobile makers will increasingly market to consumers in the 45 to 64 age bracket. With generally higher disposable incomes, appetites for more expensive cars, and growing numbers, the 45+ group has the potential to become the auto industry’s most viable market. In Georgia, this age group is projected to increase by 344,183 over the next five years while the 15 to 44 group will only increase by 108,000. In the Southeast, the 45 to 64 group will increase by almost 2 million. In Florida alone, this lucrative target market will increase its numbers by 676,000.

14 Another good indicator of market potential for more expensive consumer items is household income growth. With a 4.4 percent compound annual growth rate over the next five years, increases in Georgia’s household income levels will outpace those of the U.S., the Southeast overall and every state within the Southeast.
