Mayville Engineering Company Announces Strategic Footprint Expansion in the Southeastern U.S.

MEC

Mayville Engineering Company (MEC) acquired a 138,000 square foot finishing facility in Thomson, Georgia, to expand its Southeastern U.S. manufacturing footprint.
The acquisition transaction closed on October 1, 2026.
MEC plans to invest approximately $25 million to $30 million in phases through 2028, covering the purchase price, facility improvements, & production equipment.
When fully deployed by 2028, the facility is expected to add approximately $50 million in annual revenue capacity.
The expansion addresses accelerating demand in the Datacenter & Critical Power end market, where qualified opportunity pipelines exceed $125 million.
MEC secured approximately $90 million in new project awards for the Datacenter & Critical Power sector during the first half of 2026.
The Thomson location adds Georgia as MEC's tenth state of operation & positions capacity near existing customers in the Southeastern corridor to reduce lead times & freight costs.
The site includes operational e-coating & powder coating lines, wastewater treatment, environmental permitting, & an experienced workforce that MEC intends to retain.
The project is expected to meet MEC's internal rate of return threshold of at least 15%.
Funding for the acquisition & investment comes from existing liquidity, with no expected material impact on 2026 net sales, Adjusted EBITDA, or Free Cash Flow.
Revenue & earnings contributions from the new facility are projected to begin in 2027 as fabrication capabilities are commissioned.
The total revenue capacity for MEC is expected to increase beyond the previously disclosed $850 million following full deployment of the site.
