Magna International Expands Greenville County, South Carolina, Manufacturing Operations

12/16/2024
Mobility technology company and automotive supplier Magna International plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Greenville County, South Carolina. The approximately $200 million project is expected to create roughly 200 jobs.

The investment will include a new 625,000-square-foot facility located at 923 Matrix Parkway in Piedmont, along with an expansion of the company’s existing facility. Operations at the new facility are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025.

“Magna has been part of the Greenville County community for over 30 years, benefiting from the region's skilled and diverse workforce that drives our innovation and customer value. We look forward to further growth and continuing to be an integral part of this vibrant community,” Magna Body and Chassis Group President John O’Hara said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits and awarded a $500,000 Set-Aside grant to Greenville County to assist with the costs of facility set up and improvements.

“Today’s announcement by Magna International is a substantial win for Greenville County and South Carolina. Magna’s decision to grow its operations and create new jobs in our state is a testament to our highly skilled workforce, and we are excited to support the company as it furthers its South Carolina legacy,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
