MACON-BIBB COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) \u2014 Nichiha USA has announced the partial closure of its manufacturing facility in Macon.<\/p>\n
As of Monday, production at Plant 1, dedicated to residential business, ceased certain functions, transitioning operations to Plant 2, which focuses on commercial structures. This move follows a review of the company’s long-term business priorities and aims to enhance future competitiveness.<\/p>\n
Plant 2 will continue to operate as the hub for Nichiha USA’s growth and expansion in the U.S. The company says it remains committed to Georgia and Macon-Bibb County, pledging to invest in the region, create jobs, and contribute positively to the local economy through Plant 2’s ongoing operations.<\/p>\n
The closure of Plant 1 will affect some employees, but Nichiha USA has confirmed that support will be provided to those impacted during the transition. <\/p>\n
“Macon has been more than just a place of business. It has been a true home for the company, our employees, and their families. While this decision was extremely difficult, it is necessary to build a stronger foundation for long-term success. Nichiha USA remains committed to being a responsible corporate citizen in Macon-Bibb County for many years to come,” President and CEO Takayuki Okada said.<\/p>\n
