“We are pleased to announce the launch of our new facility, and we are grateful for all the support we have received from the community here in South Carolina. JR’s rapid growth is truly a testament to the strength of our relationships with our customers, suppliers and neighbors, and to the dedication of all our employees. We look forward to seeing that growth continue at our new facility,” said JR Automation Technologies CEO Bryan Jones.
“JR Automation’s $3.4 million investment in Pickens County will mean 56 new jobs, and it’s more great news for one of our rural areas.
