Governor Brian Kemp announced Wednesday that JS Link intends to invest about $223 million to establish a new rare earth permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Columbus. The new facility will create more than 520 jobs in Muscogee County.
Founded originally in 2000, JS Link is a Korean biotechnology company that specializes in research and development. The company expanded its business to include the production of permanent magnets, which are a critical component in a vast array of industries including automobiles, wind turbines, elevators, home appliances, consumer electronics as well as defense systems. “JS Link America strengthens Georgia’s role in securing the U.S. supply chain in industries such as aerospace, mobility and energy” said Governor Kemp.
The new manufacturing facility will be located at the Muscogee Technology Park in Columbus. Operations are expected to begin in late 2027. JS Link America will be hiring for engineering, production, construction, administrative and management roles.
