Enchem to open second U.S. facility in Brownsville

Enchem American, Inc., will invest $152.5 million to establish electrolyte manufacturing operations in Brownsville, creating 190 new jobs. Located at the I-40 Advantage Industrial Park, a Select Tennessee Certified Site, the plant will be the South Korean-based company’s second U.S. plant. The Brownsville facility will operate similarly to Enchem’s U.S. headquarters in Commerce, Ga., and will manufacture electrolytes for electric vehicle (EV) batteries as well as other EV battery-related services. Enchem America Inc. is a subsidiary of Enchem Co., Ltd., and specializes in the development and manufacturing of electrolytes and other additives for rechargeable batteries. With the additional Tennessee operations, Enchem will be able to further support its EV partners across the Southeast.
