Over 100 new solar jobs in Fletcher, reports Hendersonville Times-News
from Hendersonville Times-News
Zentric Inc. announced their plans today to consolidate and relocate operations of the company's headquarters to Fletcher, according to a news release. The company plans to create 116 new jobs and invest $7 million in real and business personal property over the next few years. The location decision marks Zentric's emergence from a technology development company to an operating entity focused on advanced battery technology development.
Zentric was founded in 2008 in Nevada and focuses on the development of battery technologies and fuel cell storage. The new headquarters will allow Zentric to further develop battery and solar technologies through research and design, but will also house assembly and administrative support operations.
“The decision to consolidate our office locations, and launch assembly operations, came after careful review and consideration of building options in many communities, in many states,” Zentric President William Tien said in a news release.
