Manufacturing

Throughout Albany’s history, the community has been the industrial hub of the southwest Georgia region. The early 1900s brought Albany’s first major manufacturing operations in food and beverage processing, an industry that still thrives in the community today due to access to resources and raw materials, proximity to transportation corridors, and availability of skilled and experienced workforce. Today, advanced manufacturing sectors of all kinds excel in Albany, from heavy machinery to paper products to renewable energy.
