Industrial technology and electrification company Siemens Corporation plans to establish operations in Jackson County, Georgia. The $185 million project is expected to create 1,400 jobs over the next three years.

The investment will include the construction of a new facility that will manufacture low-voltage electrical components. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027.

“Georgia was a natural choice for our next manufacturing investment. The state offers a strong business environment, access to a highly skilled workforce, and close proximity to our existing operations and supply chain network across the Southeast,” said Barry Powell, North America President of the Siemens Electrical Products business unit. “Building this facility strengthens our ability to serve customers more efficiently while expanding advanced manufacturing capacity in a region that is already home to many of the technicians, suppliers, and industry expertise that support our business.”

Assistant Director of Statewide Projects Elizabeth McLean represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on the project in partnership with the Jackson County Area Chamber of Commerce, Jackson County Industrial Development Authority, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.

“For 140 years, Siemens has been a valued part of Georgia’s business community, and this latest investment decision is another testament to the strong economic partnership between our state and Germany,” noted Governor Brian P. Kemp. “We are proud to support this next chapter of growth and look forward to the impact of these quality jobs on the Pendergrass community and the surrounding area.”

Siemens Corporation, the U.S. subsidiary of Germany-based Siemens AG, provides technologies and solutions for industry, infrastructure, transportation, and electrification. The company's electrical products business manufactures components and systems used to distribute and control electrical power in commercial, industrial, and infrastructure applications.
