“By moving the Salute to Manufacturing to Columbia, and ultimately to other South Carolina communities, we continue to communicate the important economic impact manufacturing still plays in today’s knowledge-based global economy,” Smith added. “Innovative and successful manufacturing companies are critical to enhancing our state’s quality of life and creating a high standard of living for our residents.”
