The Recon Group Inc. (TRG), a company specializing in logistics solutions, is investing $1.3 million to locate in Blacksburg in Cherokee County. The investment is expected to create 248 new jobs.
TRG’s Blackburg facility will be the firm’s seventh in the United States and ninth worldwide. It will specialize in the refurbishment of high-definition TVs, with the ability to accommodate flex space for pilot programs.
“Along with its proximity to key suppliers’ distribution centers, [Blacksburg] provides faster turnarounds and reduced logistics costs for our East Coast-based customers,” said Matt Gallagher, TRG’s chief customer officer.
readySC, a division of the S.C. Technical College System, will assist with recruitment and training of repair and lead technicians at the facility. To apply for these positions, visit sctechjobs.com.

All three locations are participating in the recruiting process. Interested candidates should contact a staffing office by phone, in person on-site or submit resumes to ckable@mancan.com.
