Topic: Medium-voltage switchgear manufacturing capacity in the United States
Siemens and Jabil have announced a new manufacturing operation in Prince George County, Virginia, intended to expand U.S. production of Siemens-designed medium-voltage switchgear and integrated power-delivery systems.
Facility plan
The operation will occupy approximately 300,000 square feet at the Crosspointe Logistics Center and will be run by Jabil. The companies state that a $30 million investment will support equipment, tooling, production readiness and operations.
Production is scheduled to begin in fall 2026. Once operational, the site is expected to create at least 350 jobs and serve data-center, utility, industrial-generation and power-distribution applications.
Manufacturing model
The arrangement combines Siemens product design and specifications with Jabil’s manufacturing and supply-chain capability. Siemens says it will retain oversight of quality and adherence to its requirements while adding another route for scaling output.
Why it matters
Switchgear lead time is influenced by engineering approval, components, assembly, wiring, testing and documentation. Adding floor space alone does not remove every constraint, but a qualified manufacturing partner can provide additional capacity when processes, traceability, workforce competence and test controls are aligned.
For purchasers, the manufacturing location does not replace technical verification. Project teams should still confirm the exact product family, applicable standards, type-test evidence, factory routine-test scope and responsibility for final documentation.
