“We are seeing increased demand from our customers, so it is the right time for us to expand in Lancaster County. South Carolina has provided an excellent home for our operations and we look forward to growing here. We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials,” said Mike Scutella, plant manager for Thomas & Betts.
“It’s always exciting to see a company grow in one of our state’s rural areas. We celebrate Thomas & Betts’ decision to expand their operations and create new jobs in Lancaster. By continuing to strengthen our business-friendly climate, we can look forward to more announcements like this one,” said Gov. Nikki Haley.

When companies like Thomas & Betts build on existing investments and create jobs, it helps make the communities where people live sustainable. Every one of these jobs will have an impact in Lancaster County,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
“Thomas & Betts has been a major part of the local economy for over 30 years, and their rapid growth over the past two years is phenomenal.
