The jobs created will be in the areas of textile manufacturing and extrusion.
“We are excited to launch our first plant in Murray County,” said PolyTech Fibers President J.Y. Choi. “Our team is made of experienced engineers and businessmen with years of production and sales expertise. For several years, we have been planning to produce top-quality polyester fibers at competitive prices.

Within three years, our annual production capacity will reach 80 million pounds.”

I am confident that our state will continue to foster growth in manufacturing firms across Georgia.”
“We are delighted to welcome PolyTech Fibers to our community and we are thankful that they have chosen Murray County to invest $12 million and create 114 new jobs,” said Murray County Sole Commissioner Brittany Pittman. “This project will be a tremendous boost to our local economy. This announcement is a result of the continued efforts to create a competitive and business-friendly climate, which makes us more optimistic about the future. When projects like these take place, those in our community are afforded the opportunity to get back to work. We look forward to our ongoing partnership with PolyTech Fibers.”
