Energy management and automation company Schneider Electric is expanding its operations in the Palmetto State, said Richland County officials.
Schneider Electric’s combined $23.8 million investment will create 280 new jobs throughout 2024 in Richland and Oconee counties.
The company is a global industrial technology leader, producing energy efficient and sustainability solutions for customers in 150 countries, according to a Richland County PIO press release.
In Richland County, Schneider Electric will invest in its engineer-to-order facility which manufactures NW breakers, low-voltage switchgear and switchboards located at 8821 Garners Ferry Road in Hopkins.
“As a result of our state’s skilled workforce and business-friendly environment, global leaders like Schneider Electric are finding success. We congratulate Schneider Electric on these expansions and look forward to the 280 new opportunities they will create in the Oconee and Richland communities,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
