The plant, housed in a restored Bethlehem Steel factory, employs approximately 500 workers with family-sustaining jobs and sustains a manufacturing tradition in the community that dates back a century.
Utilizing U.S.-made steel, the plant produces enough tracker torque tubes annually to sustain 4,000 megawatts of new solar projects each year.
This project is the latest in a series of significant capital investments that JENNMAR, a premier steel processing provider, has made in the U.S. solar industry. Between 2020 and 2024, the company invested over $100 million in solar manufacturing.
