KV Final launching new Spartanburg County operations

Automotive Supplier to Create 50 Positions

KV Final, a Czech developer and producer of metal parts for the automotive industry, is locating its new operations in Spartanburg County. The company’s $2.5 million investment is projected to create approximately 50 new jobs during its first phase of operation.

KV Final is a premiere manufacturer and supplier of stamped, machined and welded parts and assemblies for the automotive industry. With existing locations in China and the Czech Republic, the company’s new Spartanburg County plant will feature welding, clinching and degreasing processes, as well as local customer support.

Located at 325 Old Greenville Road in Spartanburg, S.C., the company’s 32,000-square-foot facility is expected to come online in the first quarter of 2019. Until now, KV Final has been operating out of the Spark Center SC, a local landing pad facility. Hiring for the new positions is slated to begin in the second quarter of 2019, and interested applicants should contact [email protected].

“As a foreign company, we must overcome all the difficulties with a very different environment, but thanks to the intense support of these partners and the warm openness of all the local people, we realized that South Carolina is the perfect place to establish a subsidiary.” –KV Final Spartanburg LLC Managing Director Jakub Konecny

“We are pleased that KV Final selected Spartanburg County to locate its first facility in the United States.  Spartanburg has a strong track record of attracting international companies.  KV Final’s presence here adds to our robust industry sector of advanced manufacturing. The Spark Center S.C., along with other public and private allies are instrumental in our economic development successes. ” – Spartanburg Economic Futures Group board chairman Ethan Burroughs

“KV Final’s decision to locate within the Upstate is a testament to our region’s ability to meet business needs. The Spark Center SC provides an invaluable resource in welcoming foreign-owned companies to grow and thrive here, and we look forward to KV Final doing just that.” –Upstate S.C.
