ATLANTA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Highline Warren, an American vertically integrated distributor of automotive aftermarket and cleaning products, is investing $170 million in a new logistics and operations center in McDonough. The multi-year investment will create 160 new jobs.

"Like so many other businesses, Highline Warren recognizes Georgia's advantages when it comes to affordably producing and efficiently moving products to market," said Governor Brian Kemp.
