EnerSys, a global leader in energy storage systems and solutions, announced it is expanding its operations in Sumter County.

The company’s $6.7 million investment will create 14 jobs, according to Gov. Henry McMaster's office.

Headquartered in Pennsylvania, EnerSys is an industrial technology leader providing global customers with energy solutions that meet the growing demand for efficient, reliable and sustainable energy.

The company has more than 32 manufacturing facilities worldwide, including its Sumter metal plant established in 1972.

In 2024, the company announced plans to establish its second South Carolina operation, a lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility in Greenville County.

For this project, EnerSys will add 34,000 square feet to its facility located at 1990 Corporate Way in Sumter.

Officials said the expansion will allow EnerSys to meet growing demand for lithium, flooded and Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) battery products.

Operations are expected to be online in May 2025. Individuals interested in joining EnerSys should go to the company’s careers page.

The state's Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $100,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Sumter County to assist with the costs of building construction and site development.
