Miura Executives, Employees, and Officials Attend Event
ATLANTA — Miura Manufacturing America Co. Ltd. celebrated the fifth anniversary of its state-of-the-art boiler systems manufacturing facility in the Rockmart 101 Industrial Park, in Rockmart, Georgia, on May 19 with a special celebration and plant tour attended by government officials, Miura executives, and employees.
Miura opened its 100,000-square-foot Rockmart factory in May 2009 in a partnership with the Development Authority of Polk County, the Polk County Commission, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and the city of Rockmart. At the time, Miura estimated its total capital investment in the project at approximately $15 million. The company said that the key to its success in Rockmart has been the skills of the local Polk County labor force in Rockmart and surrounding communities. Working in conjunction with Georgia Northwestern Technical College and the state of Georgia, Miura invested in retraining workers for the precision welding necessary for the manufacture of Miura steam boilers.
