Techtronic Industries (TTI), a global leader in the design, manufacturing and marketing of consumer, professional and industrial products, has announced plans to expand its operations in Anderson County.
The $100 million investment will create 525 new jobs over the next several years.
Located at 100 Innovation Way in Anderson, TTI’s expansion will include a new one-million-square-foot manufacturing plant and warehouse to support production and assembly operations. The expansion, which is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2022, also will include a reconditioning plant.
“This is a significant step in our continued growth and evolution as a company,” said Lee Sowell of TTI’s Outdoor Products Group in a press release. “This will be a world class manufacturing and warehousing facility – to support our ever-expanding outdoor product and power tool businesses. We certainly appreciate the support of the state of South Carolina and Anderson County to help make it possible for us to continue to invest in facilities, people and innovative product in Anderson.”
Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Hong Kong, TTI has continuously expanded around the world through organic growth and acquisitions and is a recognized world leader in designing and manufacturing a variety of power tools, outdoor products and accessories for both residential and industrial clients. The company provides products from brands such as Milwaukee®, AEG®, Ryobi®, Homelite®, Hoover®, Oreck®, Vax® and Dirt Devil®.
“We are truly fortunate to have Techtronic Industries as a partner in our community, Anderson County Council District Four Vice Chairman Brett Sanders said in a prepared statement. “Major expansion announcements like this help show the world the degree of trust that several multinational corporations have placed in our local workforce, and I couldn’t be more proud than I am today of our county and our people.”
S.C. Governor Henry McMaster called the TTI expansion and investment further proof that South Carolina is an important hub for international business.
