Powering the Future: Duksan Electera’s Journey to Tennessee

In July 2022, just after founding its company in 2021, Duksan Electera made the strategic decision to locate its first North American manufacturing facility in Shelbyville, Tennessee. This commitment included more than 100 new jobs and a $95 million investment in Bedford County.

Now, just a few years later, the company has transformed from an empty field to the largest electrolyte manufacturing facility in the country. Shortly after the official ribbon cutting ceremony for Duksan’s new facility in January, our team sat down with Moonil Cheon, sales manager, and Jinkang Yim, plant manager, to discuss the impact of the company’s Tennessee location and its ambitious goals for the future.
