BorgWarner Inc., a global leader in mobility solutions, plans to expand its manufacturing plant in Oconee County, South Carolina. The $42.7 million project is expected to create 122 jobs.

The company will upfit its current facility at 15545 Wells Highway in Seneca to support new electric vehicle business as part of its “Charging Forward” initiative.

As an incentive, the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to this project.

“South Carolina has the aptitude not only to attract world-class companies, but also to provide opportunities for businesses to thrive. We are excited that BorgWarner continues to expand its existing operations in Oconee County, and we celebrate our long-standing partnership,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.
