Mayville Engineering Company Plans McDuffie County, Georgia, Fabrication Operations

10/02/2026
Metal fabricator Mayville Engineering Company (MEC) plans to establish operations in Thomson, Georgia. The approximately $26 million project is expected to create roughly 140 jobs in McDuffie County.

The investment will include the refurbishment of an 138,000-square-foot facility at 1048 Superior Way, which will increase the company’s manufacturing capacity, particularly for its Data Center & Critical Power customers.

“MEC is proud to partner with McDuffie County and the State of Georgia to bring new investment and approximately 140 jobs to the region. Georgia’s skilled workforce and strong commitment to economic development made it the ideal location for our newest facility, and we look forward to contributing to the community’s continued growth,” said Mayville Engineering Company President and CEO Jag Reddy. “This new facility strengthens MEC’s national manufacturing network and expands our capacity to support customers across the industries we serve. As we continue to grow, so does our need for talented people, and we look forward to hiring locally in McDuffie County for roles across operations, skilled trades, and management as we invest in the Thomson facility.”

Senior Project Manager Adela Kelley represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD on the project in partnership with the McDuffie County Development Authority and Georgia Quick Start.

“Georgia’s manufacturing supply chain is built on layers, from small and specialized manufacturers to major OEMs, and MEC brings important capabilities that serve multiple industries and multiple points across that supply chain,” noted GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “With its proximity to Augusta and connectivity to the broader Southeast manufacturing ecosystem and some of the nation’s busiest ports, McDuffie County is well-positioned for this investment. We’re proud to partner with MEC and local leaders to bring new manufacturing opportunities to the region and look forward to supporting the company as it grows in Georgia."

Mayville Engineering Company provides prototyping and tooling, production fabrication, aluminum extrusion, coating, assembly, and aftermarket services.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for McDuffie County,” added Steve Dwyer, Chairman of the Thomson-McDuffie Industrial Development Authority. “MEC is exactly the type of high-quality manufacturing company we want to attract to our community. This investment will create new career opportunities for our residents, strengthen our industrial base and generate lasting economic benefits for McDuffie County.”
