Ecoplastic America

What Ecoplastic America does

Ecoplastic America Corporation is a Georgia-incorporated automotive plastics manufacturer operating as the US subsidiary of Korean parent Ecoplastic Corporation. The company produces a focused portfolio of plastic automotive components — bumpers, consoles, interior and exterior trims, and the molds used to manufacture them — supplied directly to Kia and Hyundai Motor Group as a tier-1 supplier. Its core technology is plastic injection molding for automotive components, including proprietary mold fabrication capability that supports in-house tooling for its parts production.

The company is in the process of establishing its first US manufacturing facility in Bulloch County, Georgia (4800 Highway 301 S, Register, GA 30452), backed by a $205 million corporate capital commitment from its parent and a commitment to create 456 new jobs. The facility is strategically positioned to supply the Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America (HMGMA) under a just-in-time supply model. As of the data collected, the US entity was in workforce-buildout phase, conducting hiring fairs across Georgia Southern University, Ogeechee Technical College, Savannah Technical College, Southeastern Technical College, and community partners. CEO Youngdoo "Thomas" Kim leads US operations, having relocated to Bulloch County.

Ecoplastic America's business model is B2B hardware sales — direct OEM supply of manufactured plastic components under quote-based tier-1 supplier contracts. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales through OEM partnerships, with no intermediaries, channel partners, or pricing transparency. The customer base is concentrated within the Hyundai Motor Group / Kia ecosystem, and the company is positioning itself as a localized supply anchor within HMGMA's broader supplier network in Georgia.
