Intermodal Transport: There is nothing more important to an automotive manufacturer than getting supplies in and product out. In South Carolina, our factories are supported by the Port of Charleston, one of the nations deepest and able to support the 2014 Panamax ships. 2300 miles of rail lines by two carriers and five interstates (with I-73 on the way) back up the port so your operation will be positioned for success.

Institutional Support: With the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR), South Carolina is uniquely positioned to deliver the automotive R&D knowledge that will help your company get and keep its edge. Testing, Ph.D. programs in advanced automotive engineering and public/private partnership opportunities are all available to you through CU-ICAR. Also, our internationally known technical college system administers the readySC™ workforce training program. readySC™ is designed to train your workforce while your operations are being set up in SC, so that when your facility is ready for production, your workers are as well!!

A Right-to-Work, Pro-Business State: With our workers safe under our right to work laws, they can focus on getting results for their companies. With reliable electric power costing 14% below the national average and a plethora of tax exemptions – including no inventory tax, no sales tax on manufacturing machinery or materials for finished goods – we are business friendly in South Carolina.
