Battery-casing manufacturer GTI Energy plans to expand its manufacturing operations in the Valley with a fresh $20 million investment in its Goodyear facility.
Back in October the company announced an initial $33 million investment to open a 530,000 square-foot manufacturing facility at Lakin Park in Goodyear, with plans to use the facility for light manufacturing and assembly of battery casings.
GTI’s fresh funding will be deployed over the next few years to further build out the space with robotics functions and other features “to improve our capabilities and bandwidth of what we can be producing here in Goodyear,” said Bill Jacobbi, managing partner at GTI Energy.
