by Taylor Williams

COLLETON COUNTY, S.C. — Kontrolmatik Technologies, a construction and engineering firm based in Istanbul, has unveiled plans for a $279 million plant in coastal South Carolina’s Colleton County that will manufacture lithium ion batteries. Pomega Energy Storage Technologies, a subsidiary of Kontrolmatik, will operate the facility, which is scheduled for completion in 2024. At that time, Kontrolmatik, whose U.S. headquarters are based in Northern Virginia, expects to employ about 575 people at the facility. The exact site was not disclosed, but the southern portion of the county touches the Atlantic Ocean and offers proximity to the Port of Charleston. This aspect of the location, along with access to a qualified workforce, should help address domestic reliance on foreign supply chains for these critical devices, according to the site selection team.
