Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is announcing a “”Georgia Made” program to encourage manufacturers to promote the state on their products.

Kemp announced the program Wednesday at the state Capitol, surrounded by representatives of 11 companies whose factories he visited during a statewide tour last fall.

The program parallels the existing Georgia Grown certification that promotes agricultural products.
