Gov. Kemp: Siemens Plans 1,400+ New Jobs in Jackson County

ATLANTA – Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that Siemens is planning to create more than 1,400 jobs at its new advanced manufacturing facility in Pendergrass over the next three years. The project represents at least $185 million in investment in Jackson County, pending final approvals.

“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 Governor Brian P. Kemp. “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.”

Siemens is a global technology company and a leader in electrification, automation, and industrial software. Siemens currently supports over 1,700 employees across two manufacturing facilities and six offices in the state, including Siemens’ Peachtree Corners Electrical Products facility.

“Georgia was a natural choice for our next manufacturing investment. The state offers a strong business environment, access to a highly skilled workforce, and close proximity to our existing operations and supply chain network across the Southeast,” said Barry Powell, North America President of the Siemens Electrical Products business unit. “Building this facility strengthens our ability to serve customers more efficiently while expanding advanced manufacturing capacity in a region that is already home to many of the technicians, suppliers, and industry expertise that support our business.”

Siemens’ new approximately 550,000-square-foot facility will produce low-voltage electrical components and be located at 580 Raco Parkway near Pendergrass, pending final approvals. Buildout of the facility is expected to begin this November, with plans to begin hiring for engineering, fabrication, assembly, and testing roles in 2027.

“Jackson County, a state leader in economic development, is pleased to welcome the global leader Siemens and their advanced manufacturing facility to our community,” said Chairman Marty Clark, Jackson County Board of Commissioners. “Siemens’ investment will create high-quality jobs, expand our manufacturing base, strengthen workforce opportunities, and support the county’s long-term goals of sustainable economic growth and increased prosperity for our residents.”

Assistant Director of Statewide Projects Elizabeth McLean represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on this competitive project in partnership with the Jackson County Area Chamber of Commerce, Jackson County Industrial Development Authority, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.

“At the forefront of innovation and a key partner for transportation and other technology solutions, Siemens has played an important role in Georgia’s advanced industries for decades,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Our 2025 visit to Siemens’ headquarters in Munich marked another important step in the relationship we have built over many years through regular engagement with the company’s leadership, both in Germany and here in Georgia. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with Siemens and our partners in Jackson County.  We look forward to building on our longstanding partnership as Siemens continues to innovate, invest, and grow in Georgia.”
