Rolls-Royce cuts ribbon on new $24m expansion in Mankato, Minnesota Rolls-Royce cuts ribbon on new $24m expansion in...

The generator sets produced in Mankato use mtu Series 4000 engines that are built at the Rolls-Royce facility in Aiken, South Carolina, where Rolls-Royce announced a $75M capital investment in July 2025.

The Mankato investment, first announced in June 2025, is expected to increase production capacity for mission-critical backup power systems by more than double by the end of 2026. Today, Rolls-Royce backup power systems support more than 25 percent of U.S. data centers, alongside other critical infrastructure, providing always-on power without impacting local energy grids.

The expanded facility will help meet growing demand from customers across healthcare, transportation, industrial, data center, and other critical infrastructure sectors, where reliable backup power is essential to maintaining operations and supporting economic growth.

The expansion builds on more than $1.5B invested by Rolls-Royce in the U.S. over the past decade. Across 34 locations in 26 states, Rolls-Royce employs more than 5,000 Americans and supports more than 1,000 U.S. suppliers.
