Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama (commonly called HMMA) is an

automobile factory in Montgomery, Alabama
.

History

It was incorporated as a subsidiary of

.

Operation

When it was built, the plant was expected to generate an additional 5,500 jobs and $500 million in investments from suppliers. Many of the suppliers were already in the region supplying the Mercedes, Honda and Toyota plants in the state. The plant has capacity for 400,000 vehicles and 700,000 engines per year.[10] Hyundai Glovis operates the rail shipping yard.

The success of the HMMA plant and the availability of local suppliers led Hyundai to invest over $1 billion in a new

Kia Motors plant in West Point, Georgia. The West Point Kia plant is just over the Alabama state line, less than 85 miles away from the Montgomery plant. The two plants are directly linked by Interstate 85 in Alabama. Through the years some production has been shifted between the two plants. For example, Kia engines are made in the HMMA plant while some SUV production was moved from Hyundai to the West Point Kia plant. HMMA increased SUV production between 2012 and 2018.[11]

Controversies

In July 2022, Reuters reported that SMART, a nearby Hyundai subsidiary that supplies parts to the Montgomery factory, had hired underage workers as young as 12 years old to work in one of its metal stamping plants.[13][14] In response, Hyundai said it "does not tolerate illegal employment practices at any Hyundai entity." State and federal laws limit minors younger than 18 from working in metal stamping and pressing jobs near dangerous machinery.[13]
