Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that HK USA is investing $13 million to expand its Columbus-Muscogee County facility and will create an additional 35 jobs.
“HK USA has been supporting quality jobs for Georgians for more than two decades, and we are grateful to see this relationship continue to benefit the Columbus community,” said Governor Brian Kemp. “Georgia remains the top destination for a wide range of industries - including defense and sporting goods - because of our world-class logistics network, our pro-business environment, and top-tier talent across the state.”
Based in Germany, Heckler & Koch established its HK USA operations in Georgia in 2005. The company currently supports roughly 115 jobs in Columbus.
