Area Development
SAGE Automotive Interiors, a firm that develops and manufactures innovative automotive bodycloth and headliners, is investing $4 million to expand its existing operations in Abbeville County, South Carolina. The company currently has two Abbeville facilities.

To expand its existing Abbeville County operations, the company is investing in equipment and technology upgrades for its two existing Abbeville plants, which are located at 601 Brooks Street and 1395 Highway 72 West. Expected to be completed in phases beginning in late 2015, the expansion will allow SAGE Automotive Interiors to position its facilities for future growth.

“Sage Automotive Interiors is pleased to make this announcement for our company and particularly our Abbeville locations. As we face global competition on cost and performance, we continue to invest in our core strengths in South Carolina to support our future growth,” Sage Automotive Interiors President/CEO Dirk Pieper said.

“It’s always exciting to see new companies move to do business in South Carolina, but there’s something special about celebrating when one of our existing companies expands here. We work extremely hard to take care of the companies we already have here, which is why we keep seeing companies like SAGE Automotive Interiors continue to call South Carolina home and continue to invest in our people,” said Governor Nikki Haley.
