COLUMBUS, GA. — JS Link America, a wholly owned U.S. subsidiary of the Korean biotechnology company JS Link, will invest $223 million for the construction of a new permanent magnet manufacturing facility in Columbus.

Situated within Muscogee Technology Park, the facility is expected to create more than 520 engineering, production, construction, administrative and management jobs.
