ABB Electrification (ABB) officials announced today the company will expand its operations in Selmer, investing $76 million and creating 50 new jobs. As part of the project, the company will construct a new 300,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Selmer/McNairy Industrial Park, which received a TNECD Site Development Grant in 2022 and 2024. ABB Electrification produces essential electrical distribution equipment for large-scale industrial and technology-driven facilities, including data centers, factories and high-rise residential and office spaces where consistent, high-quality power is critical. Upon completion of this project, ABB will employ more than 1,200 Tennesseans at its five operations in Selmer, Portland, Athens, Memphis and Mount Juliet.
