Gov. Perdue Announces 135 jobs with Mitsubishi
Company plans engineering center in Mecklenburg County
CHARLOTTE – Gov. Bev Perdue joined executives from Mitsubishi Nuclear Energy Systems, Inc. (MNES), in Charlotte today to announce that MNES will locate its main engineering center in the Queen City. Mitsubishi, one of the world’s leading suppliers of nuclear power plants and replacement components, will use the new Charlotte engineering center to perform projects to build nuclear power plants for U.S. utility companies.
The company plans to create 135 jobs over the next five years with a $4.1 million capital investment in Charlotte. The project was made possible in part by a state grant from the Job Development Investment Grant program.
Gov. Perdue made today’s announcement from the campus of UNC Charlotte as part of her “Education Works” tour to highlight how North Carolina’s history of investing in education is drawing well-paying, high-tech industries into the state.
“Mitsubishi is a growing and future-oriented company, exactly the kind of business that North Carolina is attracting through our investment in education and infrastructure,” Gov. Perdue said. “Our job-ready workforce and position as an energy capital truly means that international companies like Mitsubishi will bring to our state the kind of jobs that are helping us climb out of the recession.”
MNES supplies safe and secure nuclear energy systems for utility customers by leveraging experienced engineering, manufacturing and technical support capabilities that Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. has strengthened over the years. MNES business operations include support for existing nuclear power plants through component replacement and inspection services and the promotion of new facilities through the introduction of the advanced pressurized water reactor (US-APWR). The professionals in this office will work with MNES partners, contractors and customers in the areas of project management, engineering, procurement and quality assurance.
