The facility — located at 2935 Shawnee Industrial Way — will focus on delivering switching, energy conversion, monitoring, and storage solutions. Operations are expected to ramp up in early 2026, with hiring for production and operational roles beginning in Q1.
With a presence in the U.S. since 2009, Socomec’s latest move reflects its long-term strategy to localize production and respond to rising energy demands. The Suwanee site will function as a regional hub, supporting innovation and improving delivery speed across its growing product lines.
Company leadership cited Georgia’s skilled labor pool, reliable infrastructure, and business-friendly environment as key factors in choosing the location. The investment also positions Socomec to align more closely with energy transition initiatives, particularly in sectors requiring advanced electrical infrastructure.
The decision to expand in Suwanee highlights Georgia’s increasing role in advanced manufacturing and energy-related industries. Governor Brian Kemp characterized the announcement as another sign of the state’s competitive edge in attracting global manufacturers.
Gwinnett County officials noted the project fits into the region’s broader strategy to diversify its economy and build workforce resilience. Metro Atlanta’s access to technical talent, strong logistics network, and innovation ecosystem continues to attract companies looking to scale in North America.
Commissioner Pat Wilson of the Georgia Department of Economic Development emphasized the strategic importance of electrical infrastructure manufacturing and the value of projects that help expand high-quality job opportunities.
The expansion also adds to the state’s track record of securing international investment in high-growth sectors, further embedding Georgia in the global supply chain for energy and industrial technologies.
