SolarWorld continues to invest in Oregon with the very recent announcement of expansion plans. The manufacturer will add another 210,000 square foot facility to it’s 100 acre campus in Hillsboro. This brings the total square feet under the SolarWorld umbrella in Hillsboro to 690,000.
This is great news for Oregon as manufacturing in other sectors, particularly steel and timber industries, has taken a big hit from the slowing economy.
The new building is slated to be completed by November of this year and will be home to the company’s logistics, distribution and production operations. The company plans to employ more than 1,000 workers at the Hillsboro facilities by 2011.
