Rolls-Royce reported its MTU Aiken manufacturing facility is celebrating its 10-year anniversary.
The 395,000-ft2 campus, which produces off-highway MTU-brand diesel engines, opened in fall 2010 after the company decided to move manufacturing from Detroit to Graniteville, Aiken County, South Carolina. The facility began initially assembling MTU Series 2000 and Series 4000 diesel engines. Later it brought on machining operations, allowing it to machine its own components on-site.
The decade was defined by a spirit of innovation, leadership at the plant said. “We have continually challenged ourselves to take on the next program or develop the next competency, all with a focus on developing our people and our community along the way,” said Joerg Klisch, director of operations at the plant.
