YKK AP America Launches Advanced Manufacturing Facility in Macon-Bibb County

“YKK AP America’s new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Macon-Bibb County is a powerful affirmation of our commitment to advancing Georgia’s industry and economy,” stated Mayor Lester Miller. “With this expansion, YKK AP further strengthens its bond with our community, creating jobs and solidifying our area as a center of industrial innovation. This project represents more than growth—it’s an investment in our families, our economy, and our future.” 

The newly completed facility, located in Macon-Bibb County, Georgia, spans over 200,000 square feet and reflects a significant capital investment by YKK AP America. The manufacturing hub began operations in January 2024 and now employs over 250 people, reinforcing Macon’s role as a vital industrial and technological hub. 

YKK AP’s investment in Macon-Bibb County underscores the advantages of doing business in Georgia—a state recognized for its skilled workforce, favorable business climate, and central location within reach of 80% of the U.S. population via a two-day truck drive or a two-hour flight. This strategic placement enables YKK AP to better serve its national and global customer base, providing fast, efficient distribution. 

The project highlights YKK AP America’s commitment to its mission: “Building a better society through architectural products,” establishing Georgia as a forward-thinking partner in architectural and industrial innovation. 

We are incredibly proud to officially open this residential manufacturing facility in Georgia. The completion of this project marks not only an expansion in our manufacturing capabilities but also deepens our confidence in the Georgia workforce and our valued partners. We extend our gratitude to Georgia’s Department of Economic Development, Macon-Bibb County Industrial Authority, and all who have supported us in reaching this milestone.
