Transformer manufacturer Virginia Transformer plans to expand its operations in Rincon, Georgia. The $40 million project is expected to create more than 400 jobs.

The investment at the company’s existing facility will include advanced manufacturing equipment, upgraded material handling systems, and an automated warehouse to increase production capacity by 50 percent.

“This is the latest in a continued series of expansion investments in facilities across North America,” said Prabhat Jain, CEO of Virginia Transformer. “We are focused on delivering premium-quality transformers with industry-leading timelines, and this investment will further strengthen our ability to serve customers.”
