EV battery manufacturer Enchem America cancels plans for $152.2 million facility in Brownsville

Two years after announcing construction plans for a new EV battery supplier in Brownsville, Enchem America, Inc., has canceled plans for the $152.2 million facility.

 

In June, 2023, South Korea officials announced intentions to construct a facility that would offer 190 jobs in the I-40 Industrial Park, which is located near the Ford Motor Company’s BlueOval City in Haywood County.

 

In August 2025, Enchem delayed construction on the facility.

 

“As I understand, the project cancellation is all about market changes in the EV & battery markets caused by shifting consumer demand. You have to build what people want to buy and that changes regularly.

 

“As for the project location, I believe the property is a certified site through our State site development program and should revert back to the community for them to market to other companies. The parameters around Certified sites really help a prospect know what they are getting and how to plan for their facilities.” –  State Rep. Chris Todd, R-Madison County, House District 73
