Voltage Energy Group has announced the establishment of a new U.S.-based manufacturing facility and progress toward establishing its global headquarters in Roxboro, Person County, North Carolina, including the acquisition and upgrade of a 72-acre site with 246,079 square feet of manufacturing space. The move reflects the company’s long-standing strategy of building and scaling its global operations from its American roots.
As operations ramp up, the facility is expected to create employment opportunities and support the local economy through sustained operations and ongoing community engagement. To support this long-term growth plan, Voltage Energy expects to maintain an elevated level of investment over the next three years to expand operations and deliver lasting economic and community benefits.
Company CTO Bob Slack commented: “North Carolina has always been the base for Voltage Energy. By expanding our manufacturing footprint and planning for our future global headquarters here, we are reinforcing our commitment to customers, partners and the local community, while supporting the long-term growth of the clean energy sector.”
Representative for North Carolina’s General Assembly, Ray Jeffers, added: “The purchase of this vacant manufacturing facility by Voltage is a strong and encouraging sign for Person County and the people who live and work here. By reinvesting in an existing site, this project makes smart use of our local infrastructure while opening the door for new job opportunities for our workforce. Person County has a long history of manufacturing and skilled labour, and this investment helps build on that legacy. I look forward to working alongside local leaders and the company as this facility moves forward and begins contributing to the long-term economic strength of House District 2.”
Kyle Puryear, Chairman of the Person County Board of Commissioners, stated: “On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to welcome Voltage Energy to our community. We are grateful that Voltage has chosen our county as the home for its operations, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership. The company’s presence will create quality jobs, strengthen our tax base and contribute to our ongoing efforts to attract innovative industries for a diversified manufacturing sector that is needed to bolster our local economy.”
