GE Appliances, a Haier company, will invest $50 million to open and expand operations at a new distribution center in Greenville, the company announced Feb. 2.
The investment is expected to create 45 new jobs over the next five years at the 584,820-square-foot distribution warehouse in Augusta Grove Business Park.
The facility, which is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2024, will be used to ship and receive appliances from regional production facilities along with imported finished goods arriving at the Port of Charleston.
“The business-friendly climate of South Carolina and Greenville County, and the proximity to Inland Port Greer make this an ideal location to build our newest distribution center in support of our growing business,” said GE Appliances Vice President of Distribution Marcia Brey. “Investments like this allow us to quickly respond to external factors and keep product flowing efficiently throughout our entire network as we grow and enter new product categories. I would like to thank Governor McMaster and the Secretary of Commerce for their continued support.”
GEA has manufacturing facilities in Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Camden, South Carolina.
