Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced that electrical component and system manufacturer Socomec plans to invest nearly $10 million in a new facility in Suwanee. The company expects the project to create 300 jobs.
Headquartered in France, Socomec specializes in power switching, monitoring, conversion and energy storage. The company launched its U.S. subsidiary in 2009.
"Opening our new facility in Georgia marks a major milestone in Socomec’s growth in North America,” Socomec North America President and CEO Michele Putignano said. "The state’s strong talent pool, infrastructure and business environment make it the ideal location to accelerate innovation, support the energy transition and advance our commitment to sustainable development."
Socomec plans to establish its new facility in an existing building at 2935 Shawnee Industrial Way near Suwanee. The company expects to begin hiring for production and operations roles in the first quarter 2026.
