GALLERY – Hitachi Energy celebrated 70 years of transformer manufacturing in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, bringing together employees and their families to recognize the company’s longstanding presence in Copiah County

On Nov. 7th, Hitachi Energy celebrated 70 years of transformer manufacturing in Crystal Springs, Mississippi, bringing together employees and their families to recognize the company’s longstanding presence in Copiah County. The celebration included factory tours, food, games and entertainment at McPherson Park, highlighting seven decades of work by employees who manufacture transformers that help deliver reliable electricity to homes, businesses and communities across the country. The milestone comes following Hitachi Energy’s announcement of a historic $528 million investment in a new transformer factory in nearby Gallman. The project, which will be more than twice the size of the existing Crystal Springs facility, is expected to more than double production capacity and create more than 700 jobs. The new facility is part of the company’s approximately $1.5 billion U.S. manufacturing expansion. Construction is expected to begin following a planned groundbreaking celebration next year, with production scheduled to start in 2029. Hitachi Energy plans to continue operations in Crystal Springs during construction and maintain a presence at the existing site for warehousing, training and other operational needs after production transitions to Gallman.
