KIA's state of the art production

Kia currently has 4 factories in Korea producing over 1 million units a year, two factories in China and and a new factory in Slovakia completed in 2006 at a cost of 1 billion Euros. A new factory in Georgia, USA is to be completed in 2009.

Kia’s factories have been recognised as employing some of the world’s most eco–friendly production technologies promoting the eco-design of materials and production processes to reduce pollutants and minimise waste products.

Last year, Kia’s Zilina factory was certified as an ‘environmentally-friendly’ facility when Kia Motors Slovakia (KMS) was presented with an ISO 14001 international certificate of environmental management. Many of the production and waste-management technologies in operation at Zilina are among the very best available in the world, with a minimised impact on the environment.
