ALBAform, Inc. is a manufacturer of metal components for the automotive industry and it officially opened its plant in Flowery Branch, GA, on September 23.

Governor Casey Cagle and other local dignitaries at the opening ceremony.
ALBAform is the first Czech company to open a production facility in Georgia with an investment of approximately $2.5 million. The plant will create more than 30 jobs in the local community. The customers of ALBAform include car makers such as BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
