Initial production capacity is planned at approximately 150 units in 2026, scaling to 1,000 units beginning in 2027<\/b>, supporting both near\u2011term and long\u2011term customer demand.<\/p>

\n\u201cOpening our Wytheville facility is an exciting milestone for JST Power Equipment,\u201d said Matthew Polk, Executive Vice President<\/b>. \u201cThis investment allows us to manufacture closer to our U.S. customers, comply with local and regional sourcing requirements, and provide the high level of service and responsiveness our customers expect. It also strengthens our ability to support factory acceptance testing and on\u2011site collaboration throughout the project lifecycle.\u201d<\/p>

\nThe new site spans approximately 45,000 square feet across two buildings<\/b> and is designed to support manufacturing, engineering, service, and customer experience activities. JST expects to initially employ 25\u201330 manufacturing professionals and 10\u201320 office and engineering staff<\/b>, with additional hiring anticipated as production ramps in the coming years.<\/p>

\nThe Wytheville opening builds on JST\u2019s recent global expansion, which includes manufacturing operations in Mexico, China, Malaysia, and multiple U.S. locations<\/b>, enabling the company to better serve customers across Europe, North America, and Asia. JST\u2019s global manufacturing network supports a broad portfolio of solutions, including dry\u2011type transformers, pad\u2011mounted transformers, air\u2011 and gas\u2011insulated switchgear, power transformers up to 150 MVA, and battery energy storage systems.<\/p>

\nBeyond capacity expansion, the new facility underscores JST\u2019s ongoing commitment to sustainability and workforce culture. Across its global operations, the company continues to increase the use of renewable energy, reduce environmental impact, and invest in employee engagement\u2014efforts that have contributed to JST being recognized as a Top Workplace in 2025<\/b>.<\/p>
