Siemens plans $185M Georgia facility expected to create 1,400 jobs

Jackson County could see more than 1,400 new jobs arise in the next several years thanks to a new manufacturing facility planned in Pendergrass.

Siemens, a global technology company that leads in electrification, automation, and industrial software, plans to build the new facility, which will be a $185 million investment, according to a news release from the Governor’s Office.

“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,” said Gov. Brian Kemp in the news release. “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.”

The new facility will produce low-voltage electrical components and be approximately 550,000 square feet located at 580 Raco Parkway near Pendergrass, pending final approval.

Siemens plans to hire for engineering, fabrication, assembly, and testing roles in 2027. To learn more about available positions, go to www.siemens.com/en-us/company/jobs.
