Company Investing $5 Million In Existing Greenville County Facility

 

SAGE Automotive Interiors, a firm that develops and manufactures innovative automotive seating material and headliners, is investing $5 million to expand its existing operations in Greenville County, where it operates both a manufacturing plant and a headquarters facility.

Established in 2009, SAGE Automotive Interiors is a top provider to original equipment manufacturers in the automotive industry. Globally, the company operates more than 15 facilities across North and South America, Asia and Europe. With four facilities across the Palmetto State, the company employs approximately 900 South Carolinians overall.

Today’s announcement complements a $4 million expansion in Abbeville County, which the company announced earlier this year. Together, these Upstate investments reflect SAGE Automotive’s ongoing commitment to remain a leader in the dynamic global automotive market.

To expand its Greenville County operations, the company is upgrading equipment and technology at its existing manufacturing facility, located at 518 Pumpkintown Road in Marietta, S.C. Expected to be completed in phases beginning in 2016, the expansion will allow SAGE Automotive Interiors to position its facilities for future growth.

“We are pleased to be announcing further investment in South Carolina. This investment in Greenville County is significant for our associates and operations. Maintaining state of the art facilities and technology for our associates in South Carolina is critical to our success,” said Sage Automotive Interiors President and CEO Dirk Pieper.
