Spartanburg, SC – Iljin America, a South Korean manufacturer of industrial grade ball bearings has begun launching operation in Spartanburg county. By September of 2009 the company expects to add about 120 jobs to the region.
In March the company bought a former textile building located near the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and since has been working on solidifying their $38 million investment in the region. At present some state incentives packages are still being negotiated and will likely be a topic of discussion for the Spartanburg County Council sometime next week.
