CONGRATULATING ROLLS-ROYCE
______
HON. JOE WILSON
of south carolina
in the house of representatives
Monday, July 21, 2025
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, South Carolinians are
grateful that Rolls-Royce is expanding its manufacturing operations in
Aiken County.
The $75 million investment will create 60 new jobs, strengthen the
local economy, and enhance career opportunities across the state.
As a provider of off-highway engines and complete power generation
solutions, Rolls-Royce develops and delivers complex power and
propulsion solutions for safety-critical applications in the air, at
sea, and on land.
Since its establishment in 2010, the Aiken facility, with the
leadership of their Vice President of Operations, Philipp Steinle, has
grown to become a 395,000 square foot campus with state-of-the-art
production capabilities, an engine testing facility, office space, a
research center, and more.
Additionally, this investment will increase the production of engines
which will help meet the demand for high-power mission critical back up
generators.
The dedication and leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Adam Riddle
is appreciated.
Best wishes to Rolls-Royce for success in their future endeavors.
