EnerSys Expands Sumter, South Carolina, Production Operations

03/25/2025
Energy storage systems and solutions provider EnerSys plans to expand its production operations in Sumter, South Carolina. The $6.7 million project is expected to create 15 jobs.

The investment will include an additional 34,000 square feet at the company’s existing facility at 1990 Corporate Way which will allow it to meet growing demand for lithium, flooded and Thin Plate Pure Lead battery products. Operations are scheduled to begin in May 2025.

“EnerSys is dedicated to developing innovative solutions and technologies that drive exceptional value for our customers. We are grateful for the partnership with Sumter Economic Development and the support from our local and state government partners, which enable us to advance our next phase of expansion in Sumter. This investment supports our long-term growth objectives while creating new opportunities to support our workforce and contribute to the economic strength of Sumter and the state of South Carolina,” said EnerSys President and Chief Operating Officer Shawn O’Connell.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $100,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Sumter County to assist with the costs of building construction and site development.

“We are pleased to see EnerSys reinforcing its decades-long legacy in our state by expanding its Sumter County operation. The company’s investment is further proof that South Carolina is ideal for fostering and supporting continual growth, and we congratulate EnerSys on its success in our state,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

EnerSys is an industrial technology company providing customers with energy solutions that meet the demand for efficient, reliable and sustainable energy. The company currently operates more than 32 manufacturing sites globally.
