The specialty vehicle manufacturer will invest $1.15 million to launch operations in Charleston County, SC.
Spartan
Motors, Inc., a leader in fleet, work truck and specialty service
vehicle manufacturing, is establishing operations in Charleston County,
SC.
The $1.15 million investment is expected to create 308 new jobs.
“We are big believers in the skilled tradespeople of North Charleston and the larger region, and we know the talent available here will allow us to manufacture to the standard of excellence our customers have come to expect.”
In 1975, Spartan Motors, Inc. began as a
designer and builder of custom fire truck cabs and chassis.
Today, the
company is a North American leader in specialty vehicle manufacturing
and assembly for the commercial and retail vehicle industries –
including last-mile delivery, specialty service and vocation-specific,
upfit segments – as well as for the emergency response and recreational
vehicle markets.
Located in North Charleston, SC,
Spartan Motors, Inc.’s Charleston County operations will include
production of industry-specific custom shelving, lighting and ergonomic
design services for commercial vehicles.
“South
Carolina’s automotive industry continues to grow, and this announcement
by Spartan Motors, Inc. is a further testament to all we’ve been able to
accomplish in South Carolina,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
“These 300 new
jobs will make a significant difference in the Lowcountry, and we’re
excited to see what the future has in store for Spartan Motors, Inc.”
The
South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded
Charleston County a $100,000 Set-Aside grant to assist with costs of
building improvements.
“Our automotive industry is on
the move in all of the right ways, and Spartan Motors, Inc.’s decision
to establish operations in Charleston County is a win for the entire
state,” said South Carolina Department of Commerce
Secretary Bobby Hitt.
“The 308 new jobs today’s announcement will
create is a testament to our state’s world-class workforce and
business-friendly environment.”
“Charleston’s
highly-skilled workforce, business-friendly climate and
globally-connected infrastructure influenced the company’s decision to
locate here to better serve its customer, Mercedes-Benz Vans,” said
Charleston Regional Development Alliance Chairman John Hagerty.
“Spartan
Motors will be a tremendous asset to our growing automotive cluster.”
