$120 million to be invested in electrification in Tennessee, Mississippi facilities
ABB announced March 3 that it will invest $120 million in the United States to expand the production capacity of its low voltage electrification products. The investment aims to meet increasing demand from customers in a wide range of key growth industries, including data centers, buildings and utilities.
ABB expects to create 50 new jobs at a new advanced manufacturing facility in Selmer, Tennessee, and will double the size of its existing manufacturing site in Senatobia, Mississippi (pictured) creating 200 new jobs.
“Demand is increasing steadily for advanced electrification technologies, driven by growth in key sectors including data centers and utilities. Today’s announcement will support our future growth in the US, ABB’s largest global market,” said Morten Wierod, ABB’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our new facilities in Selmer and Senatobia will keep our US customers at the cutting edge of the energy transition, and help them meet their performance, productivity and energy efficiency goals.”
As part of the commitment, ABB will invest $80 million to build a new, 320,000 sq. ft. facility in Selmer, TN. Replacing the existing ABB Selmer operations is expected to increase production capacity by more than 50 percent. The new factory will produce 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.
ABB’s busway and bus plug products help businesses simplify their power distribution, supporting seamless expansion or reconfiguration without the need for extensive rewiring. The new facility, expected to open in Q4 2026, will add 50 new skilled jobs, increasing ABB’s Selmer workforce by more than 25 percent.
