Located at 130 Corporate Drive in Spartanburg, PecTec will provide customers with a line-up of non-ferrous metals finished in a variety of different types and designs. Included in the company’s offerings are foils, strips and sheets of aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy and stainless steel. Once it’s fully operational, the 11,600-square-foot Spartanburg facility is expected to produce more than six million linear meters of product annually.

“South Carolina’s undeniable prowess in the manufacturing industry continues to help us attract companies from around the world. We’re proud that PecTec Corporation has selected Spartanburg County to base its first United States operations, and we look forward to watching them succeed in our state,” added Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.

We would also like to thank our private sector investors who continue to provide Class A industrial buildings at Corporate Center where PecTec will locate,” said Russ Weber, Economic Futures Group Board Chairman.
