Plastics manufacturer to locate plant in Elberton

ELBERTON - Governor Sonny Perdue announced Thursday that Germany-based plastics manufacturer Moeller Tech will locate a manufacturing plant in Elbert County.

The project is expected to create 75 direct jobs and represents a $9.75 million investment in the local economy.

A division of the Möller Group, Moeller Tech produces injection molded plastic parts for the automotive industry. The company's Elberton plant will manufacture plastic injection molding for BMW.

"It has been an exciting time for MollerTech to find a home and set up a new plant in a Southern state to supply our automotive customers. We looked across different states and were very pleased to settle in Elberton," said Moeller Tech CEO Wolfgang Bruns. "We found that the plant, together with the attitude and commitment from the local community and Development Authority was second to none, and we look forward to a long, healthy and prosperous future together."

Moeller Tech will locate in an existing 130,000-square-foot Elberton facility already outfitted for plastics manufacturing.
