Fuyao North America’s new 182,000-square-foot processing center with light production capabilities will be located at 110 Milacron Drive in Fountain Inn, SC.

“Today marks another chapter for our company as we invest in this new Greenville County processing center,” said Fuyao North America Inc.

Operating as one of the largest producer of automotive glass worldwide, the company holds more than 300 patents and manufactures four million glass car sets in the United States annually.

The 70 new jobs will have a big impact in Greenville County.”

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has awarded a $100,000 Set Aside grant to Greenville County to assist with costs associated with the project.

“The automotive industry continues to be a real job creator in our state’s economy, and today’s announcement is another sign of that,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt. “Fuyao North America’s decision to locate new operations in Greenville County further builds on our reputation for job creation related to foreign investment.”
