Turkey-based Mega Metal, a copper wire manufacturer, plans to establish operations in Ridgeway, South Carolina. The $34 million project is expected to create 135 jobs in Fairfield County.

The company’s new 91,000-square-foot facility, located at 364 Blue Granite Parkway, will manufacture superfine electrolytic oxygen-free (EOF) copper wire. Operations are scheduled to begin in September 2025.

“This investment in Fairfield County is not only a manufacturing milestone – it is a reflection of our long-term commitment to the North American market. We are proud to grow alongside the state of South Carolina, contribute to the regional economy and build a foundation of industrial excellence. Through this investment, Mega Metal is poised to become a key player in the U.S. supply chain, offering strategic support to high-demand industries across the continent,” Mega Metal Inc. Board Chairman Cuneyt Turgut said.

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

“We are thrilled Mega Metal is establishing operations in Fairfield County, creating 135 new jobs and joining the state’s thriving manufacturing industry. Today’s announcement is another victory for our talented workforce, and we are excited to support Mega Metal as it launches its legacy in South Carolina,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M.
