Unified Legacy Group plans to build a new precision manufacturing facility in Macon, Georgia. The company, which provides precision fabrication, machining and manufacturing solutions for the defense, aerospace, data center and industrial markets, is investing $125 million into the project and expects to create nearly 500 new jobs over the next several years.

Unified Legacy Group broke ground on the facility at Barnes Ferry Road in Macon-Bibb County on August 3. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler, Macon-Bibb County Mayor Lester Miller and other state and local leaders attended the groundbreaking.

The new facility will expand Unified Legacy's manufacturing presence in Middle Georgia. The company's Unified Defense facility has operated in nearby Byron since 2022. The project represents a $125 million investment in Macon-Bibb County and is expected to bring hundreds of new career opportunities to the community. 

More new manufacturing jobs for Georgia

In a recent quote, Eric Williams, CEO, Unified Legacy Group, said, “Breaking ground on this facility is a major milestone for our team and for Macon-Bibb County. We’re grateful for the partnership of Governor Kemp, Administrator Loeffler, and the entire Macon-Bibb community as we build for the future, and we look forward to investing in American manufacturing and bringing hundreds of new jobs to the community.”
