LEESBURG, VA – Zollner Elektronik AG will invest $18 million to expand in Virginia, including boosts to its electronics manufacturing operations in Danville as well at the company’s U.S. headquarters in Leesburg, adding a total of 100 jobs between the two locations.

The expansions include $14 million to expand manufacturing operations in the Danville-Pittsylvania County Regional Industrial Facility Authority's Cyber Park to develop custom electronics products for clients using proprietary technology, which will add 80 jobs. In Leesburg, the company will invest $4 million, and add 20 jobs, Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Wednesday.

The expansion comes after Zollner acquired Leesburg-based Electronic Instrumentation and Technology’s (EIT) electronics manufacturing services (EMS) division last July.

“Zollner Elektronik’s decision to increase its market reach with the expansion of its manufacturing capabilities in Danville and U.S. headquarters in Loudoun County demonstrates the strength of our business climate and workforce that benefits diverse industries and locations across Virginia,” Youngkin said in a statement. “EIT has a long history of success in the commonwealth, and we look forward to building on that partnership with Zollner in the years to come.”

EIT has locations in Leesburg, Danville and Salem, New Hampshire.

“Since EIT was founded in 1977, we have had a great deal of support from the commonwealth of Virginia and local government agencies in helping us grow and prosper,” David Faliskie, president and CEO of EIT-Zollner, said in a statement. “The acquisition by Zollner AG will give us the advantages of a global company while being able to maintain our Virginia presence. Our locations in Leesburg and Danville have workforce availability and are supported by complete transportation systems, so we look forward to continued growth through the acquisition by Zollner.”
