"We are pleased to move forward with expansion plans in Greenville County. South Carolina has provided an excellent business environment for our company. This expansion will help augment our other businesses, Systems South in Fountain Inn, S.C. and IP Systems in Denver, by expanding our market share with innovative designs, increased capacity and global support. We appreciate the support we've received from state and local officials," said Dan Gehrman, vice president of Genetec Technology Automation.

Our state's business-friendly climate and skilled workforce continue to not only attract outside investment, but also help existing businesses like Genetec grow," said Gov. Nikki Haley.
"Our state's manufacturing sector continues to grow and remains a wealth creator for our state's economy. Genetec's investment is another sign of that. We appreciate the company's commitment to our state," said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
