Pirelli Plans $1.2 Billion Georgia Factory Expansion

Pirelli is investing $1.2 billion to expand its manufacturing facility in Rome, Georgia. The project represents a major expansion of the state's automotive supply chain, with the Georgia Department of Economic Development's Global Commerce team partnering on the deal.[1][2]

The tire maker plans to expand the factory in two distinct phases, starting with advanced robotics equipment before moving into traditional manufacturing. Pirelli currently employs 234 people in Georgia, and this expansion aims to increase that regional workforce by approximately five times.[3][4][5]

Pirelli expects to begin the bulk of its hiring in 2029, with the facility projected to reach full operations in 2033. Local and state partners coordinating the project include the Rome-Floyd Development Authority, Georgia Quick Start, and Georgia Power.[6][7][8]
