Boeing Expands Charleston County, South Carolina, Manufacturing Operations
12/23/2024
The investment at the company’s two existing North Charleston campuses, located at 5400 International Blvd. and 9775 Patriot Blvd., will support increased 787 Dreamliner production targets and potential future rate increases driven by market demand. Operations are scheduled to begin in early 2027.
“Since the creation of Boeing South Carolina in 2009, we’ve marked many important milestones – including consolidating 787 Dreamliner production to South Carolina. I’m thrilled for this next phase of growth, which is made possible by our incredible teammates and the confidence our customers have in our airplanes. This decision reflects Boeing’s commitment to the workforce, the 787 program and the community. We are building a legacy at BSC, for ourselves and for future generations in the Palmetto State,” Vice President and General Manager of the 787 Program and BSC Site Leader Scott Stocker said.
Boeing South Carolina (BSC) has been the home of the full 787 Dreamliner production cycle and fabricates, assembles, and delivers the 787-8, 787-9 and 787-10 to customers globally.
“The legacy Boeing has built in South Carolina is truly something worth celebrating, and we are thrilled the company is continuing to invest in our state. Congratulations to Boeing and Charleston County on this substantial investment of $1 billion and the new opportunities it will create in the Lowcountry, Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
“Boeing’s continued investment in Charleston County is a testament to the strength of our workforce and the supportive business environment we’ve cultivated here,” added Charleston County Economic Development Executive Director Steve Dykes. “The expansion reflects not only Boeing’s confidence in our community but also the thriving partnership we share. We look forward to supporting their growth and the tremendous opportunities it will bring to our region.”
