Manufacturing in Savannah offers strategic advantages due to its prime coastal location, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly environment. The city is home to one of the fastest-growing and most efficient ports in the United States—the Port of Savannah—which provides direct access to global markets and reduces shipping times and costs. The port, the 3rd busiest container port gateway and the fastest growing in the nation, features two deepwater terminals and gives companies fast and easy access to 44 percent of U.S. consumers and manufacturers and 70 percent of the U.S. population within two days.
Additionally, Savannah benefits from strong transportation networks, including rail, highway, and air connections, making supply chain logistics highly efficient. The region also offers a skilled workforce supported by 16 universities and technical colleges and workforce development programs, like RISE. Along with competitive incentives from state and local governments, these factors make Savannah an attractive and cost-effective hub for manufacturing operations.
Advanced manufacturing companies in the Savannah area can take advantage of training programs such as Quick Start, a high-quality, no-cost training service available to new or expanding businesses in Georgia. In 2018, Quick Start opened the Georgia Advanced Manufacturing Training Center in Savannah, Georgia at the crossroads of I-16 and I-95. The facility is equipped for a wide-range of advanced manufacturing and smart factory training, including mechatronics, control systems, automation and robotics, sensors, and networked wireless systems. It also includes computer labs and additional flexible space.
The Savannah Economic Development Authority works with Savannah’s manufacturers, connecting companies with unique incentives that may be available in their target industry. SEDA also can help companies find the perfect location for their advanced manufacturing operations, from shovel-ready sites to large existing facilities with millions of square feet of industrial space.
