COLUMBIA, S.C. — Mosdorfer LLC has selected Oconee County for its first U.S. operation, a $44.55 million investment expected to create 107 new jobs, according to the S.C. Department of Commerce.
Mosdorfer, a manufacturer of energy infrastructure, is headquartered in Weiz, Austria, where it was founded in 1712, according to Commerce. The company began designing and manufacturing hardware for high-voltage transmission lines in 1949 and now operates production facilities in Europe, India and Thailand with more than 1,100 employees, according to Commerce.
As the competence center for the Energy Systems business unit within the Knill Energy Group, Mosdorfer designs and manufactures high-voltage transmission line hardware and accessories, including suspension and tension strings and dampening and vibration systems, according to Commerce.
The new facility, located at 444 Oconee Business Parkway in Westminster, will support machining, steel fabrication, assembly, testing and related production activities for high-voltage transmission line components, according to Commerce. It will also serve as the company’s North American production and operational hub. Operations are expected to be online by the third quarter of 2027.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project, according to Commerce.
“During our site selection process, we evaluated numerous locations across several U.S. states, visited many communities and carefully assessed a wide range of opportunities. From the very beginning, we felt welcomed and supported in Oconee County,” said Mosdorfer Energy Systems Managing Director Erich Kaltmann. “This new factory in Oconee marks another major milestone in our long history. As a company that thinks in generations, we are making a long-term commitment to this community and have come here to stay.”
“Mosdorfer’s decision to establish its first U.S. operation in Oconee County, creating more than 100 new jobs, reflects ongoing confidence in South Carolina’s manufacturing strength and our people,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
“Congratulations to Mosdorfer on establishing operations in Oconee County. As a hub of innovation and manufacturing, South Carolina is the ideal location for a global company to expand into the United States,” said Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.
