Since breaking ground on the expansion earlier this year, the
new facility has been designed to support advanced manufacturing
processes and increase operational efficiency. The expansion
underscores Reinhausen Manufacturing's long-term commitment to
Humboldt and its strategic focus on growth and innovation within
the electrical energy technology sector.
"We are immensely proud to complete this expansion and continue
our strong partnership with the City of Humboldt, Gibson County,
and the State of Tennessee," said RM`s President and CEO Robert
Vary. "This new facility not only allows us to meet the increasing
demand for our products but also reinforces our dedication to the
local community by creating more job opportunities and fostering
economic growth."
The newly expanded plant is expected to bring a substantial
number of highly skilled technical jobs to the region, providing
significant economic benefits and strengthening the local
workforce. These roles will include positions in engineering,
advanced manufacturing, quality control, and research and
development. By investing in local talent and offering competitive
wages and comprehensive training programs, Reinhausen Manufacturing
aims to elevate the technical expertise and career prospects of
residents in Humboldt and surrounding areas.
With the US power grid under considerable stress from rising
demand and aging infrastructure, including transformers, the need
for reliable and innovative energy solutions has never been
greater. Long lead times for new transformers, often between 2 to 4
years, coupled with the rapid increase in power demands from data
centers and AI technologies, have left many utilities struggling to
keep up. Many transformers in use today were installed over 60
years ago, and some manufacturers no longer exist.
Reinhausen Manufacturing is stepping up to provide critical
solutions that help utilities meet these challenges. The company
offers a range of innovations in asset management, transformer
maintenance and service, and life extension strategies. This
represents a significant shift, bringing knowledge and expertise
from our German parent company closer to end-user utilities in the
US, and facilitating modernization efforts that make substations
safer and easier to manage. One such innovation is the ETOS
Embedded Transformer Operating System, which allows utilities to
upgrade their transformers to modern systems.
“The creation of these technical jobs is a testament to our
commitment to innovation and community development,” added Vary.
“We believe that by empowering our workforce with the skills and
knowledge needed for the future, we can drive sustainable growth
and maintain our position as a technology leader in the electrical
energy market.”
The ribbon cutting ceremony, to be held at the newly expanded
plant, will feature key speeches from company executives, local
government representatives, and community leaders. Invited
attendees will have the opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art
facility and learn about the advanced technologies and processes
that will be implemented.
