Edgewater Automation Coming to Hub City
Edgewater Automation, a maker of custom machines, announced it will be establishing a new facility in Spartanburg with a $3 million investment and 53 new jobs.
The company makes custom machines, primarily robotic assembly and testing, for industrial clients across the country. The company will locate its operations in the former Somet building at 1750 Martin Road and is expected to begin operations in January 2014.
“We are excited about the opportunity to locate in the Southeast and expand our market presence there.

We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials,” said Rick Blake, president of Edgewater Automation.
“We are pleased with Edgewater Automation’s decision to locate a new facility in Spartanburg County,” said Spartanburg Economic Futures Group executive vice president Carter Smith. “We would like to thank our team of local allies and especially Spartanburg Community College for providing soft-landing space for the company while they upfit their new location. We wish much success for Edgewater Automation and we welcome them to the community.”
