Location Near Savannah, Georgia, Chosen For New U.S. Caesarstone Plant

Caesarstone has reportedly selected Richmond Hill, Ga., (just outside of Savannah) as the location for its first quartz surfacing plant in the United States. This is the first plant the company has built outside of its home country of Israel, and it is said to be an investment of between $70 million and $100 million, and will be operational by the fourth quarter of 2014.

A formal announcement has yet to be made by Caesarstone, but the Savannah Morning News ran a story on October 29 quoting county officials that an agreement had been reached (read the story here).

The new quartz surfacing plant is expected to create up to 200 new jobs, and the site was reportedly chosen over other locations in Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina.
