RALEIGH - A leading manufacturer of power and automation technologies for utility and industrial customers says it will build a new plant in North Carolina.
ABB Inc. announced on Thursday that the new plant will be built in Huntersville in Mecklenburg County, where it plans to create 100 jobs over the next two years and invest $90 million.
The company also said it will create 30 engineering jobs in Wake County, home of its North American headquarters.
ABB currently employs 771 full-time workers in North Carolina. The overall average wage for the new jobs is $64,008, higher than the averages of $48,776 in Mecklenburg and $42,692 in Wake.
The project was made possible in part by state grants from the Job Development Investment Grant program and One North Carolina Fund.
