Panasonic is investing $4 billion and already has hired approximately 1,000 staff at the De Soto plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPanasonic\u2019s state-of-the-art EV battery plant marks a bright new era in Kansas,\u201d <strong>declar\u00f3 la Gobernadora Laura Kelly.<\/strong> \u201cThe monumental effort that has gone into every aspect of this project has culminated in this historic day as the plant begins mass production of EV batteries. It\u2019s hard to overstate what Panasonic\u2019s investment means to Kansas and the value of the partnership that made it possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The De Soto plant is the largest economic development project in company history \u2014 and Kansas history. An estimated $2.5 billion in new economic activity in Kansas will be generated annually by the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe opening of our Kansas factory marks a major milestone in our journey to scale advanced battery production in the United States,\u201d <strong>Panasonic Energy CEO Kazuo Tadanobu said.<\/strong> \u201cThis achievement would not have been possible without the strong support of our local partners and the State of Kansas. Together, we are accelerating the shift to electrification, reinforcing regional supply chains, and nurturing the next generation of battery talent. This facility represents not only our commitment to the region but also a foundation for long-term collaboration and innovation in the U.S.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project is expected to create up to 4,000 new jobs and significantly boost the regional and state economy, supporting an estimated 4,000 additional jobs created by suppliers and community businesses and 16,500 construction jobs, as cited in an independent Wichita State University economic impact study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKansas leaders did the equivalent of kicking down doors and leaping over tall buildings to win this $4 billion investment by Panasonic,\u201d <strong>ha declarado el Vicegobernador y Secretario de Comercio, David Toland.<\/strong> \u201cThis is a once-in-a-generation move that will power our economy, support thousands of Kansas families and spark opportunity for decades to come. It\u2019s bold. It\u2019s historic. And all Kansans can feel pride today in seeing that our state can do big things again, and that our best days are ahead of us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 300-acre manufacturing plant, which is opening almost three years to the date of the initial announcement, is located in De Soto\u2019s Astra Enterprise Park. The state-of-the-art facility will operate and produce approximately 66 lithium-ion batteries per second. Its infrastructure is broken into two wings, with four battery lines on each wing. At the end of both wings, infrastructure is designed for shipping, packing, and sub-supply vendor spaces for Panasonic partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPanasonic\u2019s new state-of-the-art facility in De Soto is a milestone for our state and a testament to Kansas\u2019 talented workforce and leadership in energy production and innovation,\u201d <strong>U.S. Senator Jerry Moran said.<\/strong> \u201cI commend the leadership of Panasonic for choosing the Sunflower State for its U.S. manufacturing site, creating thousands of quality jobs for Kansans and drawing new people to the Midwest. With this investment, we are continuing to make certain Kansas remains a place where the next generation \u2013 with their knowledge and talent \u2013 can stay and build a future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe grand opening of the Panasonic plant is a huge milestone for De Soto and our entire community. This project shows what\u2019s possible when local, state, and federal leaders work across the aisle to bring opportunity home,\u201d <strong>dijo la representante Sharice Davids (KS-03).<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m proud to have helped make this happen \u2014 and even prouder of the long-term jobs, innovation, and economic growth it will bring to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
