ATLANTA, April 1– EFACEC’s power transformer manufacturing plant outside of Savannah looks to play a vital role in re-energizing the regional economy with a net state impact of $23.75 million and an additional Effingham county impact of $39 million by 2017 according to figures from the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s Global Commerce Division. More than 1,500 workers, including skilled assembly workers, electrical engineering specialists, and suppliers will make a significant, permanent, and positive impact on the state and regional economy in the coming decade.
Despite economic turbulence since 2007, when the figures were calculated, actual growth is tracking closely with projections, which cover the period from 2008 through 2017. The figures are based on past and ongoing expenses, wages, taxes, population shifts, and the application of mathematical formulas to extrapolate future data.
“It’s been an honor to grow our relationship with EFACEC over the last few years,” said Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. “The company’s economic impact will benefit Georgia citizens for many years beyond the scope of our original projections, and we look forward to working with the company as it continues to grow in our state.”
The plant’s arrival makes it the third largest employer in the region, behind the County Board of Education and the Georgia Pacific’s Savannah River Mill (1,695 and 1,306 jobs, respectively). “We have seen the mitigating effects over the recession as the construction was underway,” said John A. Henry, CEO of the Effingham County Industrial Development Authority."
Muito bom mesmo :o))
A Efacec já há muitos anos traçou um caminho de excelência, há 30 anos (a minha família está ligada a diversas empresas do sector energético cá e lá fora) tive o prazer de efectuar uma visita vip lá e tinham um edifício bem guardado e de acesso reservado um edifício de pesquisa e desenvolvimento. Nunca soube o que lá faziam mas não deixavam ninguém entrar lá a não ser acompanhados e mesmo assim em poucos locais.
