Hithium Tech USA Inc., a subsidiary of China-based Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co., Ltd., plans to establish operations in Mesquite, Texas. The $100 million project is expected to create 141 jobs over the next five years.

The new 483,874-square-foot battery module and system assembly facility will have an annual capacity of 10 GWh.

"The new facility will accelerate Hithium's development and production of energy storage system products for the U.S. market while also boosting the Mesquite area's economic growth and development," said Jeff Wu, Chairman of Hithium. "We're excited to collaborate with local partners to ensure that our plans align with Mesquite's vision for growth, which is anchored in a rejuvenated manufacturing economy with diverse job opportunities and value for the community."

Hithium is a manufacturer of stationary energy storage products for utility-scale as well as commercial and industrial applications. The company currently operates four R&D centers and multiple production facilities.

"The location of Hithium in Mesquite is a great example of the fruit that grows from significant corporate location projects and how the economic development leaders in our region work together to create new and thriving sectors," noted Kevin Shatley, Vice President of Economic Development at the Dallas Regional Chamber. "Residents and our regional economy stand to gain from this development.
