Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced that ArcelorMittal Building Solutions will establish its North American headquarters and a new manufacturing facility in Macon. The company expects an initial $57 million investment to create 70 jobs, with plans for an additional $50 million and 70 more jobs over the next several years.
ArcelorMittal Building Solutions plans to locate the new headquarters and manufacturing operation, which will also include a new training facility, at the Airport South site. Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2026, with operations targeted to begin in the second half of 2027, subject to customary permitting and approvals. Jobs will include positions in production, logistics, management and sales.
“We are bringing advanced insulated panel manufacturing closer to our customers, with a focus on speed, reliability and consistent quality,” CEO Jean Christophe Kennel said.“ The facility will operate with state-of-the-art production technology and support a broad range of building applications across the region. We selected Macon for its workforce, industrial base and the strong support from local and state partners.”
ArcelorMittal Building Solutions designs and manufactures building envelope systems used to insulate and protect warehouses, factories, data centers and commercial buildings. The company serves a broad range of construction markets through more than 50 manufacturing and office locations worldwide.
The new operation will build on ArcelorMittal’s presence in the U.S., which includes steelmaking, finishing, manufacturing, research and development and sales/support locations that employ more than 3,200 people across nine states.
Statewide Project Manager Kimberlyn Daniel represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development on this competitive project in partnership with the Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority, Georgia EMC and Georgia Quick Start.
