Hyundai Mobis has broken ground on a $52 million, 460,000-square-foot facility in Montgomery to serve the aftermarket parts needs for Hyundai and Kia’s national dealer networks.

The expansion is expected to add 27 jobs, with an average wage of more than $28 an hour. Mobis, which has a plant already in Montgomery, already employs more than 1,500 people.

“Investments by existing industries is the highest compliment we can receive, and Mobis has demonstrated its commitment by reinvesting in this facility. Over the past 20 years, partnerships and relationships have been the foundation of our success. Connecting and supporting our existing industries ensures they continue to grow and thrive,” said Anna Buckalew, president and CEO of the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce.

Graham & Co. Development, in partnership with Cooper Construction, Five South Architecture, Graham Capital and the Montgomery  Chamber, held a groundbreaking this week to begin the construction phase of the expansion. In attendance were state and local leaders, company representatives and employees.

Mobis is the largest tier 1 supplier to both Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama and Kia Motor Manufacturing Georgia. Hyundai Mobis’ investment in Montgomery since 2002 is more than $475 million.
