Escambia Company Expands, Adding New Jobs
May 27, 2016
An Escambia County manufacturing plant is adding to their facility and adding new jobs.
The Danish based Jupiter Group held a grand opening Thursday for a 25,000 square foot addition to their facility in the Ellyson Industrial Park. With the expansion, they plan to employ a total of 250 people in Escambia County.
The company builds turbines that produce clean power, mostly from wind. Their primary customer is the General Electric Wind Energy Plant in Pensacola.

Great news the the area. Actually they build what are called the “nacelles” which are the enclosures for the wind turbines. This is actually great news. If Jupiter is expanding that means GE is increasing their output. It could be a possibility that GE will be hiring more people in the near future.
I wish more jobs will come to Century.
Very glad to see an up tick of European and Asian investors in the area, Hopefully it will only increase with Denmark making Turbines,Japan making quality Nissan’s in Mississippi along with France and South Korea in Mobile and Montgomery making Planes and Cars I sure hope this keeps up! Competition is great.
GREAT News…we need MORE like this.
Thank You, Jupiter Group.
This is great! I wish them well in their endeavor and hope that more of these good manufacturing jobs come our way!
