Gov. Mike Braun and Mayor Richard Strick joined executives of Hanjung America Tuesday to break ground in Huntington on its first U.S. manufacturing facility. The company, which is a subsidiary of South Korea-based Hanjung NCS, expects to begin operating in June 2027 with an initial workforce of more than 300.

“Huntington is proud to welcome a Hanjung America production facility to Riverfork West. Hanjung’s technology makes energy storage safer and more effective, two critical requirements to lowering energy costs for consumers throughout the grid,” Huntington Mayor Richard Strick said. “These are good-paying manufacturing jobs, and our workforce will demonstrate once again what makes Huntington a special community in the global economy.”
