Louisiana, USA, serves as a logistics hub via the Mississippi River and is connected to the Midwest region through major highway routes, providing excellent connectivity to key industrial bases across the United States.

Alabama and Georgia, where major automobile factories are located, are also situated near Louisiana. In addition, the area is not only a center for LNG projects but is also densely populated with energy-intensive industrial complexes such as petrochemical and refinery facilities.

This investment is being led by SNT Motiv, which plans to strategically consolidate the group’s core business sectors, including SNT Energy, to jointly operate an integrated production base in North America.

Through this initiative, SNT Motiv is expected to be able to produce and supply automotive components such as motors locally in the United States.

SNT Energy plans to localize the production and supply systems for air coolers required for LNG projects and HRSGs needed for combined cycle power plants, thereby strengthening its ability to respond to customers in the U.S. market.

A representative from SNT Group stated, "Through this investment, we will be able to dramatically enhance the group’s production and supply capabilities in the North American market. By proactively responding to the needs of local customers and providing high-quality products that meet the 'Made in USA' standards, we also plan to actively respond to the ongoing realignment of the global market."
