SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Devon Rutledge says the move will roughly double the company's workforce over the next three years.

The move comes amid a wave of corporate relocations and expansions across South Carolina, as companies cite the state's workforce, tax incentives, and logistics access as key draws.

Company leadership says the decision was shaped in part by proximity to the Port of Charleston and access to a growing pool of technical graduates from state universities.

Industry analysts say the company's growth reflects broader momentum in South Carolina's manufacturing and logistics sectors, which have expanded steadily over the past several years.

What Comes Next

Officials say the coming months will be a key test of whether the momentum described above holds up. Community members in Spartanburg are encouraged to follow updates as more details become available.
