“The U.S. is ABB’s largest global market, so it is imperative that we continue to invest in our footprint here to better serve our customers and help them reach their energy efficiency goals. The new facility in Selmer will leverage the experience and insights of our talented local employees to increase our production capacity to meet market demand for advanced electrification technologies and enable us to continue to serve our customers in this growing market.” – Michael Plaster, executive vice president, ABB Electrification U.S.
ABB will invest $76 million and create 50 new jobs in Selmer, Tennessee. As part of the project, the company will construct a new 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Selmer/McNairy Industrial Park, which received a TNECD Site Development Grant in 2022 and 2024.
“Today’s announcement underscores that Tennessee is a place where companies choose to invest and grow. ABB has been a trusted partner for our state, operating across five locations, and I’m grateful for their commitment to creating greater opportunity for Tennesseans,” said Governor Bill Lee.
ABB Electrification produces essential electrical distribution equipment for large-scale industrial and technology-driven facilities, including data centers, factories and high-rise residential and office spaces where consistent, high-quality power is critical. Upon completion of this project, ABB will employ more than 1,200 Tennesseans at its five operations in Selmer, Portland, Athens, Memphis and Mount Juliet.
