Manufacturing in Savannah offers strategic advantages due to its prime coastal location, robust infrastructure, and business-friendly environment. The Port of Savannah is the fastest-growing port on the U.S. East Coast and the largest single container terminal in the Western Hemisphere. With nearly 10,000 feet of contiguous berth space and two on-terminal Class I railroads, it stands out as the most efficient logistics operation in the country and gives companies fast and easy access to 62 percent of U.S. consumers within 2-3 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 the Regional Industry Support Enterprise(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 Pooler 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. We 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.
