The event also welcomed regional staff from the offices of U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, as well as representatives from the South Carolina Department of Commerce, Sumter Economic Development, and TheLINK Alliance.

Troy Baxter, Vice President of Global Operations for Motive Power at EnerSys, welcomed guests and remarked, “Today’s expansion is not just about bricks and mortar, it’s about investing in opportunity, innovation, and the future of American manufacturing. We’re proud to grow right here in Sumter, where we’ve been part of the community for over 50 years.”

Following remarks, the ceremonial ribbon cutting took place, symbolizing a new chapter of growth for EnerSys and the Sumter community. Guests were given guided tours of the expanded facility, highlighting state-of-the-art production capabilities and showcasing the company’s advanced battery systems.

The Sumter site, located at 1990 Corporate Way, now stands as a key pillar in the EnerSys North American manufacturing network, supporting domestic supply chain resilience and creating job opportunities within the region.
