BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.– State Commerce spokeswoman Alison Skipper recently announced that Nexans High Voltage USA is investing $85 million in Berkeley County.
“Establishing our Berkeley plant is a key strategic development that will enable Nexans to capitalize on the ever growing demand for high quality HV cables designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of the major power transmission infrastructure projects in North America and worldwide in the coming years,”’ said Dirk Steinbrink, Executive Vice President, High Voltage & Underwater Cables Business Group, Nexans.
The facility near Charleston and the Cooper River will employ 200 people and will produce high voltage underground cables.
Steve Hall, Executive Vice President, North America and South America Areas, Nexans, stated that his company identified Berkeley County as the ideal location on the East Coast because it provides easy access to a population of 110 million and offers ready access to navigable waters.
“We were attracted to South Carolina by its pro-business reputation and competitive Enterprise package. Additionally, the Bushy Park Industrial Complex in Berkeley County provides the perfect, large greenfield site with possible access to a shipping channel. Finally, we have the added advantage of excellent technical schools, South Carolina’s training program, and a skilled local labor pool,” said Hall.
Production is to begin in July.
