Every year local and state leaders set aside a week to recognize the impact manufacturing has on the Georgia economy. In Bulloch County, we have six manufacturing facilities: Braswell's, Briggs & Stratton, Brodie Meter, Great Dane Trailers, Loxscreen and Viracon. Combined, these manufacturers directly employ 1,729 people in Bulloch County according to a study done by the Georgia Southern University Bureau of Business Research and Economic Development.
