Blue Ridge is proud to welcome Mosdorfer GmbH to the Oconee Industry and Technology Park. Congratulations to Mosdorfer and the Oconee Economic Alliance on a partnership that will bring more than 100 jobs to our community! 💙⚡️

It’s not often you successfully recruit a 300+ year old company to your community but Oconee County has! It was a "Top Shelf for Business" day as Mosdorfer GmbH , Oconee County and the State of South Carolina announced that Austrian-based Mosdorfer is locating its Energy Systems North American Manufacturing and Headquarters facility in Oconee. The company's first operation in North America will manufacture transmission line fitters and dampers. The project will create 107 jobs and have a capital investment of nearly $45 million. Mosdorfer was founded in 1712 and is the longest operating energy products company in the world.

Mosdorfer is an amazing company, and we are so appreciative and thankful that they have chosen Oconee County for their operation. Also, a big shout to the following partners who worked with us to make this happen:

Oconee County, South Carolina
South Carolina Department of Commerce
South Carolina Power Team
Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative
Upstate SC Alliance
Tri-County Technical College
Clemson University
Oconee County Chamber SC
