Theย Elite Harness Wellington wiring harness plantย will refurbish an existing facility in Wellington, Kansas, and convert it into a 50,000-sq-ft manufacturing site. Elite Harness will produce wiring harnesses and custom cables for automotive, industrial, agricultural, aerospace, and other industries that depend on dependable electrical connections.
Elite Harness expects to invest $14 million in the project and create 110 new jobs in the region. This expansion positions the company to serve a fast-growing global wiring harness and custom cable market over the next decade.
Elite Harness President Nathan Smith explained that the company also considered expanding near its sister operation in Tulsa. However, strong support from the State of Kansas and Sumner County ultimately made Wellington the smart choice. Local and state incentives helped the company commit to the Kansas site.
The wiring harness and custom cable segment currently represents a global industry valued at around $90 billion. Analysts expect this market to grow significantly over the next 10 years as electrification, vehicle technologies, industrial automation, and advanced equipment continue to expand.
