Mosdorfer LLC (Mosdorfer), a manufacturer of energy infrastructure, has announced that it selects Oconee County for its first U.S. operation. The company’s $44.55 million investment will create 107 new jobs.
Mosdorfer is headquartered in Weiz, Austria, where it was founded over 300 years ago in 1712. A forging company since its founding, Mosdorfer started designing and manufacturing hardware for high voltage transmission lines in 1949. Today, the company has a global footprint with production facilities in Europe, India and Thailand that employ over 1,100 associates.
“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. We found the perfect combination of a skilled workforce, excellent training facilities, the right building and, most importantly, genuinely kind people,” said Mosdorfer — Energy Systems Managing Director Erich Kaltmann.
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, dampening and vibration systems, as well as other solutions that enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of electricity transmission worldwide.
Mosdorfer’s 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 and infrastructure solutions. It will also serve as the company’s North American production and operational hub, supporting long-term growth in the U.S. market while creating skilled manufacturing, engineering and administrative jobs within South Carolina.
