Monti Incorporated recently announced expansion plans that will see the 50-year-old industrial manufacturer set up shop in an 86,501-square-foot facility in Greenwood County.
Known for its manufacturing of such supplies as fabricator, powder coater, epoxy coater and specialized processing of electrical distribution components, the company plans to invest nearly $5 million in the venture that will mean at least 16 new jobs for the community, according to a press release from Gov. Henry McMaster's office.
“This expansion is a testament to Monti’s purpose to defy the odds and will continue to be the driving force of our company culture and legacy,” Molly Fender, Monti vice president of human resources, said in the governor's office release. “We pride ourselves on our family-owned and-operated history and that sentiment is spread throughout all levels of the organization. Monti recognizes that teamwork is the key to workplace success and we look forward to adding to our ever-growing team in the Greenwood area.”
McMaster said the expansion is another win for the state economy.
“Today’s $4.7 million investment by Monti is one of many success stories South Carolina’s manufacturing sector has seen,” McMaster said in the office release. “This investment and the subsequent job creation will provide a boost to Greenwood County’s economy while bringing additional jobs to rural South Carolina.”
Greenwood County Council Chairman Chuck Moates said he's excited by the possibilities.
"We congratulate Monti on their fourth expansion in the past six years, adding to their footprint and capabilities in our community,” he said. “There is no better testament to the positive business environment and talented workforce found in Greenwood County than continued existing industry growth."
