"Since our move into South Carolina in 2005, our Orangeburg facility has become a key business unit within the Quality Models’ group,” said Bill Szekesy, President of Quality Model South Carolina. “The expansion of the facility is needed to support our Southeastern U.S. customer base. We thank both Orangeburg County and the state of South Carolina for its continued support of our efforts.”
“We are thrilled another international company is expanding in our state,” said Gov. Nikki Haley. “We applaud Quality Model for continuing to grow their business in Orangeburg County, investing $3 million and creating 26 new jobs.”
