SC: Bosch Expanding Anderson County Operations

Jan 29, 2019

Bosch, a leading global supplier of technology and services, is expanding its existing Anderson County operations. To accommodate the company's continued growth, Bosch is investing an additional $45 million.

Its strategic objective is to deliver innovations for a connected life.

Highway 81 in Anderson, S.C., the company's Anderson County expansion will include new manufacturing capabilities to support the portfolio of its Mobility Solutions business sector in North America. Bosch is purchasing an adjacent property previously occupied by a Bosch joint venture.

The Bosch Anderson facility was founded in 1985 to produce fuel rails and has added production capabilities from a number of Bosch divisions that span many areas of the vehicle - including Powertrain Solutions, Automotive Electronics and Car Multimedia. The facility currently employs more than 1,200 associates. Information about open positions at the Anderson facility and other Bosch locations is available at www.bosch.us/careers.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project. A $100,000 Set Aside grant was also awarded to Anderson County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
