Gov. Brian P. Kemp has announced that electrical component and system manufacturer Socomec will invest nearly $10 million in a new facility in Suwanee, GA, creating 300 jobs in Gwinnett County.
"We are excited to welcome Socomec to the No. 1 state for business," said Kemp. "As Georgia continues to lead the way in attracting innovative manufacturers, we look forward to seeing the opportunities this project will bring to the people of Suwanee and the surrounding community."
Socomec specializes in power switching, monitoring, conversion, and energy storage, as well as expert services that support each business area. Socomec launched its U.S. subsidiary in 2009 and has since invested in local manufacturing, resources, and product development, allowing for the group to support the evolving needs in the North American market with a combination of local expertise and global support.
"Opening our new facility in Georgia marks a major milestone in Socomec's growth in North America," said Michele Putignano, President and CEO of Socomec North America. "The state's strong talent pool, infrastructure, and business environment make it the ideal location to accelerate innovation, support the energy transition, and advance our commitment to sustainable development while delivering greater value to our customers."
"The opening of our new facility is a proud moment for Socomec and a testament to our commitment to people and progress," said Robin Sodia, Director of HR for Socomec North America. "This expansion will create around 300 new jobs, strengthen the local community, and provide opportunities for talented individuals to grow with us as we continue to advance innovation and sustainability across North America."
Socomec's new facility will be in an existing building at 2935 Shawnee Industrial Way near Suwanee. Hiring for production and operations roles is expected to begin in early Q1 2026.
