$92M Mitsubishi Manufacturing Facility Planned in Pittsburgh

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro announced that the state is investing over $6.7 million to support Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc (MEPPI) ‘s growth in the Pittsburgh region.

MEPPI, in collaboration with its Japanese parent company Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, is making an $86 million investment to build an advanced switchgear factory and expand its power electronics facilities and test labs. The new factory will create at least 200 new jobs and retain an additional 806 jobs in southwestern Pennsylvania.

The factory will produce both gas-insulated and vacuum circuit breakers. This investment is driven by the increasing demand for transmission and distribution grid products as the U.S. moves toward renewable energy and decarbonization goals.

Headquartered in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, MEPPI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of Japan and serves the North American power systems, data center, rail transportation, and large visual display markets with electrical and electronic products, systems, solutions, and services.

Michael Brennan will receive Connect CRE’s Lifetime Achievement Award and will participate in the Keynote Interview with Kevin Brennan, also of Brennan Investment Group. Join us at Connect Industrial Midwest 2025 on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 5, at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, IL, for this exclusive presentation!
