Heiche US Surface Technology will locate its new production facility and U.S. headquarters in Spartanburg County. The company specializes in surface treatment for metal automotive components. The $4 million investment is expected to generate 38 new jobs.
The new facility will apply anti-corrosion surface treatments to metal parts used by automotive companies. Heiche will take over an existing building at 2790 Fairforest–Clevedale Road, Suite A.
“We are looking forward to setting up our new operations in Spartanburg County,” said Gunter Heiche of Heichegroup. “South Carolina provides us with an excellent business environment and a location for us to reach customers throughout the U.S. We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials.”
“The ‘BMW effect’ continues to send ripples throughout our state’s economy and announcements like this one show its impact. Today’s announcement by Heiche strengthens South Carolina’s manufacturing renaissance and adds to our reputation in the automotive club. Every one of these jobs will create a positive impact,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved a rural infrastructure grant for $100,000 to lure the automotive business to the area. The new facility is expected to begin operations in December.
