07/02/2025
The investment will enable the company to meet U.S. Department of Energy’s new requirements for electrical transformers while addressing the growing demand for power from sectors such as data centers, electric vehicles, transportation and industry.
“At Howard Industries, we are deeply committed to the growth and success of Mississippi. This investment will not only enhance our production capabilities but also create new job opportunities for the dedicated people of Clarke, Jones and Simpson counties. We are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with Mississippi, which has been the cornerstone of our company’s success,” Howard Industries Chief Executive Officer Michael Howard said.
To support the project Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. MDA also is providing assistance for land acquisition, infrastructure improvements and construction costs. The Clarke County Board of Supervisors, Simpson County Board of Supervisors and Jones County Board of Supervisors are assisting with the project, as well.
“Mississippi’s impressive economic momentum continues with this investment by Howard Industries. Not only is this homegrown company finding continued success in the U.S. and around the globe, but hundreds of additional Mississippians now can find great jobs producing the quality transformers and other products and services for which Howard Industries has been known for nearly 60 years. This exciting project further validates the fact that Mississippi is an ideal location for companies seeking long-term growth and generational success,” Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork noted.
Howard Industries is a manufacturer of liquid-filled distribution transformers for the utility and commercial/industrial markets. Other products include computers and technology solutions, medical technology products, and lighting and ballast products.
