08/14/2013
The firm makes custom machines, primarily robotic assembly and testing, for industrial clients across the country. The company will locate its operations in the former Somet building at 1750 Martin Road. The new facility is expected to begin operations in January 2014.
“We are excited about the opportunity to locate in the Southeast and expand our market presence there. This was a big step for our company, and Spartanburg and South Carolina provided the perfect fit for our new operations. We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials,” said Rick Blake, president of Edgewater Automation.
“More and more companies from across the nation are discovering that South Carolina is the ‘it’ state for business. We celebrate Edgewater Automation’s decision to invest more than $3 million and create 53 new jobs in Spartanburg,” said Gov. Nikki Haley.
“Manufacturing continues to be the engine for wealth creation in South Carolina, and announcements, like this one by Edgewater Automation, show that our state’s manufacturing renaissance continues to grow. Every one of these new jobs will have a positive impact in Spartanburg and beyond,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
“We are pleased with Edgewater Automation’s decision to locate a new facility in Spartanburg County. We would like to thank our team of local allies and especially Spartanburg Community College for providing soft-landing space for the company while they upfit their new location. We wish much success for Edgewater Automation and we welcome them to the community,” said Spartanburg Economic Futures Group Executive Vice President Carter Smith.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.
