EuWe Eugen Wexler US Plastics, Inc., a subsidiary of the Germany-based EuWe Group, is expanding manufacturing operations in Anderson County. The automotive supplier has decided to invest an additional $5 million in its Upstate facility, which is located off of I-85 at Alliance Industrial Park in Anderson, S.C. This new project is expected to result in the creation of 29 new jobs over the next five years.
Established in 1968 as a supplier of only metal products, the EuWe Group has grown tremendously since its inception. In 1970, the company expanded its production offerings to include plastic parts. Then, in 1993, the EuWe Group established its first international operations with a facility in Mexico. Today, the firm employs more than 1,700 workers in three countries and exclusively supplies the automotive industry. It boasts a client list featuring 10 of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers.
In 2015, the company announced an $11 million investment to create its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Anderson County. This new $5 million project will complement the original investment, allowing EuWe to meet increased demand from its customers. The Anderson County operations focus solely on the production of automotive plastic interior parts.
“In 2015, Anderson County welcomed EuWe Eugen Wexler to our community. Today, EuWe announces an additional $5 million expansion to their project and the creation of 29 more jobs, strengthening their intent to make Anderson County their home for many years to come” said Anderson County Council Chairman Tommy Dunn
“Council District 7 simultaneously welcomes EuWe Eugen Wexler to Anderson County and is delighted to know they are expanding before their official opening. This is a testament to a great company, our county and our people” said District Seven County Council Member Cindy Wilson.
Hiring for the facility is currently underway. Those interested in joining the EuWe Group team should visit the company’s jobs page online. For more information on the company, visit www.euwe.com.
