Eos Energy Enterprises, Inc. announced that it will expand its manufacturing facility to more than triple output to 800 MWh and meet production demand for its Znyth aqueous zinc batteries. Located in Turtle Creek, PA outside of Pittsburgh, the facility, known as Keystone Commons, will provide Eos with more than 46,000 square feet of additional space and the ability to create more than 125 jobs. Manufacturing equipment and machinery is expected to begin arriving in March and the site could be fully operational by September.

The new jobs that will be created are expected to further increase diversity at Eos' manufacturing facility, which is currently comprised of approximately 40% minority and 15% veteran employees. Eos has built a strong internal development program that allows employees to start in entry-level positions and work into skilled manufacturing and supervisor roles. The company is collaborating with local institutions Triangle Tech, Rosedale Technical College and Community College of Allegheny County to hire qualified candidates to drive company growth.

The Regional Industrial Development Corporation (RIDC) of Southwestern Pennsylvania, a nonprofit organization that supports economic growth and job creation through real estate development projects that advance the public interest, will rent the space to Eos for a term of five years.
