During Yellen’s visit, South Korea-based ANP will ceremonially cut the ribbon on its Elizabethtown facility, the company’s first U.S. operation. ANP invested $49 million into the 50,000 square-foot facility in Hardin County in late 2023.

ANP will supply the BlueOval SK Battery Park in neighboring Glendaleonce construction is completed on two manufacturing plants.
