About HYUNDAI-POSCO Louisiana Steel

HYUNDAI-POSCO Louisiana Steel (HPLS) is a $5.8 billion landmark investment redefining the future of manufacturing in the United States. Located in Ascension Parish, Louisiana, this first-of-its-kind facility represents Hyundai Motor Group’s inaugural steel production base in North America, establishing a fully integrated, made-in-America supply chain supporting automotive production nationwide.

To support the development of this new operation, GLOVIS Louisiana (GLA) is being established to manage logistics activities associated with the steel manufacturing facility. Ahead of GLA’s formal establishment, a temporary GLA Task Force will operate within GLOVIS America (GUS) to recruit key personnel, develop the organization, and establish the operational foundation necessary to support the future logistics business. This structure will help ensure GLA is prepared to begin logistics operations upon establishment.

*Important Position Information*

This position will initially operate under GLOVIS America and be based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. As the GLOVIS Louisiana subsidiary is established, the position is expected to transition to the new organization, which may include relocation to the Donaldsonville area. At that time, employees will transition from GLOVIS America’s benefits programs to those offered by GLOVIS Louisiana.

Compensation and benefits will be reviewed as part of the transition, with the intent of maintaining overall competitiveness and alignment where practicable.
