In the heart of Georgia’s Coastal Empire, here in Effingham County the pace is just a little bit slower, the air a little bit sweeter, and the community just a little more like home. Grown from humble, hardworking roots, Effingham County flourishes as one of Georgia’s premiere commercial and residential areas. It’s Georgia’s “hidden treasure,” where style and sophistication meet rich heritage and hometown values.

Located at the Effingham County Industrial Park at Highways 21 and 275 just north of Rincon, the firm will hire over 600 employees when fully operational. EFACEC manufactures electrical transformers and wants to be closer to its north American markets. (Left) EFACEC officials join county, area and state leaders at groundbreaking in September 2008.
