KP Components Inc., a Denmark-based supplier that specializes in fully-automated machining of complex parts for a variety of industries, will invest more than $16 million to expand its plant in Easley, South Carolina. The company plans to hire 47 associates in Pickens County.

"Today's announcement shows South Carolina is a globally competitive place for investment. By continuing to strengthen our business-friendly climate, we can look forward to more announcements like this one. We thank KP Components Inc. for their ongoing commitment to our state,” said Governor Henry McMaster.

"When companies like KP Components Inc. continue to invest and create jobs in our state, it's a further testament that South Carolina is 'just right' for business. Congratulations to KP Components Inc. on this announcement, and we look forward to seeing them grow and thrive for years to come,” Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt said.
