A Pickens County company is expanding and creating 300 new jobs.

 

Kongsberg Automotive is investing $7.3 million in the expansion.

 

“This expansion will help our plant remain competitive and meet increasing customer demand. Pickens County has provided us with an excellent business environment in which to operate. We greatly appreciate the support from state and local officials,” said Plant Manager Matt McKinnon.

 

The company will manufacture precision parts for aerospace, truck, and automotive industry at its expanded plant.

 

This is Pickens County’s fifth and largest economic development announcement since June.
