ATLANTA – A multinational manufacturer of transformers for a wide range of industrial applications will expand its footprint in Georgia by investing $15.3 million during the next five years in a plant in Waynesboro, Gov. Brian Kemp announced Thursday.
TMC Transformers USA Inc. – which is based in Italy and has 500 employees and offices in Europe, America, and East Asia – will create at least 110 jobs in Burke County with the new facility.
“When we lead economic missions overseas and meet with companies like TMC, we do so to bring more opportunities back to hardworking Georgians,” Kemp said. “Job creators like them can build a strong foundation alongside communities like Waynesboro.”
TMC established its first U.S. production plant early last year in Burke County.
“The launch of the new plant highlights TMC’s strategic plans for substantial growth in North America,” said Cristiano Palladini, president of TMC USA. “We’re excited that Waynesboro will be a welcoming base for us.”
The new plant is expected to begin operations in 2026. The company is now hiring for roles in management, administrative staff, production technicians, operators, testers, sales, and quality control.
