ABB to Invest $50 Million in New Busway Facility in Selmer, Tennessee

ABB will create 227 new jobs and invest $50 million in Selmer, Tennessee, relocating and expanding the operations of its Industrial Connections & Solutions facility in McNairy County.

A new 120,000-square-foot facility

The company will move operations from its current facility on 4th Street to a new 120,000-square-foot facility alongside its recently completed 325,000-square-foot plant at the Selmer/McNairy Industrial Park. The new facility will manufacture and distribute busway and bus plug systems, among other electrical products.

This is the second ABB expansion in Selmer announced since 2025, when the company announced a $100 million, 325,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the same industrial park. ABB will relocate about 90% of its equipment and employees to that facility in the first half of 2027 and the remainder to the new 120,000-square-foot building in the second half of 2027. After the expansion, ABB will employ more than 1,500 Tennesseans at five locations.

Adrian Guggisberg, distribution solutions president at ABB said:

“We are pleased to expand the footprint of our Selmer factory in McNairy County, Tennessee. The U.S. is a critical market for ABB, and today’s announcement strengthens our local-for-local strategy while it will enable us to meet our customers’ demands in this fast-paced and growing market.”

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee said:

“Our state is shaped by the brands that continue to call Tennessee home, and ABB’s latest investment will have a lasting impact on more than 200 families across Southwest Tennessee.”
