A maker of clean energy storage products plans to invest $100 million in a new facility in Mesquite.
The 483,874-square-foot plant will mark the first U.S. production location for Hithium Tech USA Inc.
The facility, which will be located in 20 East Trinity Pointe business park, will play a critical role in new battery module and system assembly for the company that specializes in stationary battery storage.
“The new facility will accelerate Hithium’s development and production of energy storage system products for the U.S. market while also boosting the Mesquite area’s economic growth and development,” said Hithium chairman Jeff Wu in a statement. “We’re excited to collaborate with local partners to ensure that our plans align with Mesquite’s vision for growth, which is anchored in a rejuvenated manufacturing economy with diverse job opportunities and value for the community.”
Hithium plans to add 141 manufacturing jobs to Mesquite in five years.
The company will be the first tenant at Stream Realty Partners’ massive 20 East Trinity Pointe project, a development off of Interstate 20 expected to total 3.4 million square feet at completion.
Hithium, a subsidiary of China-based Xiamen Hithium Energy Storage Technology Co. Ltd., has its U.S. headquarters in Fremont, Calif.
Canadian Solar recently opened its first U.S. manufacturing production in Mesquite earlier this year. The Ontario-based company invested about $270 million into its plant off of Town East Boulevard that produces solar panels and other equipment.
