TMC Transformers USA Expands Waynesboro, Georgia, Manufacturing Operations

11/06/2024
TMC Transformers USA Inc., an international dry-type transformers manufacturer for a wide range of industrial applications, plans to expand its operations in Waynesboro, Georgia. The more than $15.3 million project is expected to create at least 110 jobs in Burke County.

The new manufacturing facility will be located at the Burke County Industrial Park. Production is scheduled to begin in 2026.

“Combining our expertise in the dry-type transformer industry with the needs of the U.S. market for accessible, reliable, and sustainable energy, the launch of the new plant highlights TMC’s strategic plans for substantial growth in North America,” said Cristiano Palladini, President of TMC USA. “We’re excited that Waynesboro will become a welcoming base for us. Georgia provides strong foundations for our business with its strategic position, the full support from Burke County and the Georgia delegation who share a business-oriented vision, and its community of hardworking and skilled Georgians in line with our needs.”

Senior Regional Project Manager Adela Kelley represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on the project in partnership with the Development Authority of Burke County.

“After meeting with TMC's leadership in Italy, we were truly impressed by their warmth, hospitality, and enthusiasm for their decision to invest in Georgia,” noted GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “The transformers TMC will manufacture in Burke County are critical in addressing energy infrastructure needs for the state and the nation.

TMC Transformers is focused on design and production of medium and low voltage dry-type cast resin and VPI transformers. The company currently operates commercial offices in Europe, America, and East Asia.

“The Development Authority of Burke County is pleased to have TMC Transformers make Waynesboro their permanent home,” added Austin Stacy, Executive Director of the Development Authority of Burke County. “Their decision to locate here is a true testament to the readiness and strong workforce that Burke County possesses. TMC’s core principles replicate our community’s values, and we look forward to continuing our work together to make Burke County a better place.”
