We are glad to announce that we are growing our global production footprint with the manufacturing facility in Greenville County,” said Kostwein Group CEO Hans Kostwein.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to this project. Greenville County was also awarded a $300,000 Set-Aside grant to assist with costs related to this project.
“South Carolina’s positive business climate and excellent workforce continue to attract businesses from all around the world. Congratulations to Kostwein on their new operations, and we welcome them to Greenville County and South Carolina,” said Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.
