Kia Motors celebrates a decade of manufacturing in Georgia.

Kia Motors Corporation celebrated its 10th anniversary of vehicle product in West Point, Georgia, US on November 19.

Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia (KMMG) was the car manufacturer’s first hub to open in North America and has produced more than three million vehicles.

The first vehicle produced at KMMG was a Sorento, in November 2009. The 890.3-hectare site has played a key role in Kia’s presence in the US market and produces 340,000 vehicles a year.

KMMG produces mostly the Telluride and Sorento SUVs, as well as the Optima mid-size sedan.

Kia Motors will be affiliating with Hyundai Motor Company to establish a joint automotive driving venture with Aptiv in the US to lead smart mobility solutions and the future of autonomous driving.

KMMG produced its three-millionth vehicle in September this year.
