Rankin County Rotary Club

Today, the Rotary Club of Rankin County was honored to welcome Chris Wilson, EHS & Facilities Manager for Siemens Energy, who gave an outstanding presentation on the history and impact of Siemens Energy.

Siemens has been a part of the Richland community since 1973 and continues to make a tremendous impact both locally and globally. The Richland plant currently employs approximately 640 people and manufactures energy transformers and wiring products that are distributed all over the world.

Even more exciting, Siemens Energy recently announced a major $300 million expansion right here in Rankin County. The new plant is expected to create an additional 300 jobs for our community.

Chris shared that Siemens is actively working with the Mississippi Development Authority on workforce development initiatives to help prepare and grow the future workforce needed for this incredible expansion.

What an exciting time for Rankin County! We are proud to have Siemens Energy investing in our communities, creating opportunities, and helping drive economic growth in Mississippi.

Thank you, Chris Wilson, for sharing with our club today!
