May 29, 2025 | Mesquite, Texas — Hithium Energy Storage has officially inaugurated its first manufacturing facility in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion. Located in Mesquite, Texas, the new factory spans over 484,000 square feet and is designed to deliver an annual production capacity of 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery modules and energy storage systems. Full-scale operations are scheduled to begin in July 2025.
With a total investment of nearly $200 million, the Texas facility will serve as a central hub for Hithium’s energy storage business in North America. The company expects to create approximately 200 local jobs and plans to integrate deeply into the local community through partnerships with over 40 school districts and academic institutions in the Dallas metropolitan area.
At the grand opening ceremony, Hithium’s Global Business President, Mizhi Zhang, highlighted the strategic value of the new site: “This facility embodies Hithium’s commitment to customer-centric growth and operational excellence. By localizing education, production, and service capabilities, we are building a true energy ecosystem in the U.S.”
North America Vice President James Boswell echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the broader vision: “This is more than a factory—it is a platform for innovation, workforce development, and long-term collaboration with our customers and partners across the continent.”
Hithium founder Jeff Wu stated that the Mesquite factory represents a major step in the company’s ambition to build a globally resilient energy storage supply chain. “Texas is a key anchor in our international layout. With this site, we are reinforcing our belief that clean energy must be both globally connected and locally empowered,” he said.
The new factory positions Hithium to better serve utility-scale, commercial, and industrial energy storage customers in the U.S. market. It also reflects growing momentum for Chinese clean energy firms expanding internationally in response to rising global demand and shifting supply chain strategies.
Hithium Energy Storage currently operates several production bases in China and is accelerating its overseas footprint with projects planned in Europe and the Middle East, including a 5GWh plant in Saudi Arabia. The Texas facility is the company’s first overseas manufacturing site and marks its entry into the North American supply chain with localized production capacity.
