Aiken, South Carolina, July 15, 2025 – Rolls-Royce (LSE: RR, ADR: RYCEY) today announces it is expanding U.S. manufacturing capabilities with a $75M investment in its Aiken, South Carolina engine plant for mtu Series 4000 production. The investment will increase machining capabilities and grow the facility’s footprint, creating 60 new jobs in the United States with a total of 434 full-time positions at the facility. The South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
Earlier this year, Rolls-Royce announced a $24M expansion of its Mankato, Minnesota facility, adding 100 jobs to its Power Systems division in the U.S. These investments reflect the rapid growth of data centers in the U.S., increasing pressure on electric grids and the critical need for reliable power generation.
Demand for high-power mission critical backup generators from Rolls-Royce has grown considerably over the past decade. The mtu Series 4000 engines that power these systems are built in Aiken and then assembled into complete generator sets at the Rolls-Royce facility in Mankato.
