Horton Expands Westminster, South Carolina, Manufacturing Operations

12/08/2025
Cooling solutions manufacturer Horton plans to expand its operations in Westminster, South Carolina.

The $15 million project will include an additional 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space at the company’s existing facility located at 301 Oconee Business Parkway.

“Horton began operations in Oconee County, South Carolina, in 2020. Since that time, the team has expanded its capability and output to the point that additional manufacturing space is needed. The company is proud of the Horton team’s achievements in Oconee County and looks forward to supporting its next significant stage of growth,” Horton Vice President of Operations and Supply Chain Tony Niese said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.

“We are excited to see Horton growing its operations in Oconee County with this $15 million expansion. Announcements like this prove that South Carolina is a place where global manufacturing companies can build a lasting legacy,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

Horton specializes in thermal control for power systems, offering technologies for transportation and industrial applications.

“It’s another ‘Top Shelf for Business’ day in Oconee County with Horton’s announced expansion of their Westminster operation. The project is a testament to the county and state’s outstanding business climate and workforce. Horton is one of our most desirable employers, but they are also an outstanding corporate citizen with their historic financial commitment to enhancing the quality of life in our community. Oconee County congratulates Horton on their expansion and looks forward to our continued partnership with them,” Oconee Economic Alliance President and CEO Jamie Gilbert added.
