Brose Sitech, a car-seat maker, plans to open a $29.5 million plant in Richland County that is expected to create 330 jobs, according to the South Carolina governor’s office and South Carolina Public Radio.
The 140,000-square-foot facility will sit in the Scout Supplier Park in Blythewood and will be the company’s first U.S. manufacturing location, the governor’s office said. It will build complete seating systems for the Scout Traveler SUV and Scout Terra pickup, South Carolina Public Radio reported.
Operations are expected to begin in 2027, the governor’s office said. Both outlets reported that the company is headquartered in Poland and has 22 locations internationally.
Scott Keogh, chief executive of Scout Motors, said the announcement follows through on the promise that the Scout project would lead to more jobs, investment and economic prosperity in South Carolina, according to the governor’s office.
