TSTe For GreenIeAmys Kitchen, the nations leading maker of

natural and organic convenience foods, will

more than 23 years, the Sonoma, Calif.-based

Amys Kitchen is a family-owned company.

The company, which expects the facility to be

operational by January 2012, will produce a

select line of frozen entrees in Greenville. The

market for organic foods is among the fastest-

growing grocery categories, with sales

expanding by more than 10 percent annually.

Good TrcTIon In exInGTon counTyMichelin has made a series of major investments in its operations in

Lexington County, where it opened a facility in 1981.

The tire maker, which has already invested more than $1 billion in itsLexington operations, is committing another $200 million to expand capacity

at the facility for its high-performance passenger-car tires, an investment

that will add 270 jobs.

The companys 1.2 million-square-foot passenger and light truck tire facility

employs 1,360 people. An 825,000-square-foot earth-mover tire plant at

the site employs another 475 people. Equipment for the latest expansion is

expected to be installed by the first half of 2013.

First Qualitys decision to establisha new manufacturing operation inAnderson County ledArea Developmentto award South Carolina the magazines

Project of the Year award. First Qualitys$1 billion investment is expected tocreate 1,000 new jobs.

South Carolinas location in the heartof the growing Southeastern market,highly developed infrastructure andlow energy costs were factors in FirstQualitys decision to grow in the state.

Among the factors that attractedFirst Quality to Anderson are the poolof skilled labor, positive work ethicand the availability of the infrastructurenecessary to sustain our facility. As

important, however, is the pro-businessenvironment that has been createdthere, says company representativeFrank Ludovina.

AQT, First Quality and Caterpillarwere among the 172 businesses thatchose to grow in South Carolina in 2010.In that year alone, the South CarolinaDepartment of Commerces recruitment

efforts led to the announcement of20,453 jobs and $4.1 billion incapital investment.

Despite the troubled nationaleconomy, South Carolina experiencedpositive business growth in 2010, a studyby Dun & Bradstreet concludes. For everybusiness that moved from the state, 1.74moved in the best in-location rateamong all the states.

South Carolina has built a reputationfor having a business-friendly climateand a talented workforce, and these

and other factors have certainly playeda role in landing the large deals weveseen over the past few years, says BobbyHitt, the states Secretary of Commerce.

Another world brand, BMWManufacturing, has invested nearly$5 billion in its South Carolinaoperations and is still expanding.The company, which produces theX3 and X5 Sports Activity Vehiclesand the X6 Sports Activity coupe, isinvesting another $100 million in itsupstate assembly plant. That follows a$750 million expansion that opened in2010, adding 1.5 mil lion square feet to

South Carolina not onlywants to lure new businessto the state it also has

a host of programs to nurtureexisting businesses.

Among its arsenal is BuySC,a supplier locator service thatconnects South Carolina businessesto other South Carolina companiesthat can meet their needs.

We go mining for our owncompanies here in the state,through our databases, throughour relationships with companiesand through our allies, suchas regional or local economicdevelopment councils orprofessional trade associations,says Chuck Bundy, managerof business services for theSouth Carolina Departmentof Commerce.

For example, the department

was instrumental in connectingThe Boeing Co. with numeroussuppliers throughout the state,boosting sales and job opportunitiesin many communities, Bundy says.

One company that has utilizedthe program is Kellett EnterprisesInc., a Greenville-basedmanufacturer and distributor oftextile machinery, accessories and

supplies, including the LP-13 ShakeAbsorber Vibration and IsolationPad used in a variety of industries.The BuySC program helped thecompany find suppliers for manymaterials, including plastics andwashers, says Terry Mauldin, vicepresident of sales. Kellett is nowusing the programs onlinedirectory of South Carolina-ownedbusinesses to find home-basedsuppliers of industrial glue.

Anytime we can, we buy

locally, Mauldin says. It keepsmoney here in South Carolina.

Small South Carolinacompanies seeking to be suppliersoften ask the states CommerceDepartment to make introductionsto bigger companies.

Because of our relationships,its easy for us to help smallercompanies make that connection,

Bundy says.South Carolina also offersthe readySC program, one ofthe oldest and most experiencedworkforce training initiativesin the United States. The programoperates in conjunction with the16 members of the South CarolinaTechnical College Systemand works with expanding orrelocating businesses to recruit,screen and train workers incustomized training programs.

of the South Carolina Research Authority(SCRA), the commercialization armof South Carolinas major universities:Clemson University, the Universityof South Carolina and the MedicalUniversity of South Carolina.

The initiative aims to help entrepreneurswith start-up companies using researchbased information from universities.

As such, SC Launch has a numberof pre-company university startupinitiatives, such as proof-of-concept,clinical trials, intellectual property

support, business plan servicesand licensing.

SC Launch zone managers mentorstartups in their regions, connectingthem with other businesses, as well aslocal economic development andacademic sectors, to provide anecosystem of support. The programalso provides grants, loans and equity

investments to startups to defraythe cost of services such as legal,financial, marketing and intellectualproperty protection.

transportation assets are a keycatalyst to economic growth.The Port of Charleston

is the ninth-largest containerport in the United States, withmore high-crane container liftsthan any port in the WesternHemisphere. With water draftsof up to 48 feet the deepestin the Southeast the portoffers major advantages foraccommodating large vessels.That advantage will take

on even more importancewith the widening anddeepening of the PanamaCanal, which will allow hugepost-Panamax container

ships easier access to theport, and promises evenmore distribution facilitiesand business.

South Carolina has ampleand reliable supplies ofenergy and a major cost

advantage compared to mostother states in the nation.

South Carolinas industrialpower rates are generally 15 to20 percent below the nationalaverage, according to reportsfrom the U.S. Energy Information

Administration. Electricproduction in South Carolinautilizes a mix of fuels, providingfor stable pricing and reliability.

Inexpensive and reliable powerwas cited as one reason whyInternet giant Google decided in2007 to build a $600 million datacenter in Berkeley County.

The states four generatingutilities have a combined capacityof 24 gigawatts to supportindustrial and commercialgrowth. All four utilities are

members of the Virginias-Carolinas Reliability Counciland subscribe to its guidelines forminimum standards of reserves.

Their connected systems providefor inter-utility power sales as wellas exceptional reliability acrossthe state.

For the past 50 years, readySChas helped South Carolinasworkforce get set to go.

Established in 1961, the readySCworkforce development trainingprogram is one of the oldestin the United States. The programoperates in conjunction with the16 members of the South CarolinaTechnical College System.

The program serves as a bridgebetween workers and companies

that are relocating to SouthCarolina or expanding withinthe state. The colleges developdetailed training programstailored to meet a companysspecific workforce requirements.These services are funded bythe state, so there is usuallyno cost to the companies.

More than 260,000 employeeshave been trained by readySC

since the programs inception,and approximately 2,000companies have been served.In 2009-10, nearly 4,500 workerswere trained for positions at 76

companies. The ever-changingproject list ranges from smallbusinesses that need only ahandful of employees to majorcorporations, such as The BoeingCo., which in 2009 selected SouthCarolina as the site of a secondaircraft-production facility withthe potential of producing 4,000direct jobs.

offers a prime example of howcompanies can benefit fromthe readySC program. CCHS,a national leader in homewarranties and service plans,opened a customer-care centerin Anderson in 2008, thenexpanded the number ofemployees at the facility in 2011.CCHS found many of the 300-plus employees for the centerthrough readySC.

The program provided pre-hiretraining that included such topicsas time and stress management,diversity, problem-solving andbasic customer services. Thenonce the hires were made,readySC trained 205 customer-service representatives and 115authorize/retention associates.Dedicated training space wasprovided by Tri-CountyTechnical College.

ReadySC worked closely withus from the onset to make certainthat all of our recruiting andtraining efforts worked towardsgetting the right people in theright place at the right time,says Mike Roneker, CCHSoperations manager.

our companys growth.

proGrm meS n ImpcTIt does not take the creation

of hundreds of jobs for readySC

to make an impact. In August2010, zinc production companyHorsehead Corp. openeda production facility in Barnwellthat resulted in the hiring of 65employees, 55 of whom weretrained by readySC.

Though the number of newjobs was relatively small, thefacility represented a $70 millioninvestment by Horsehead in thestate. And Horsehead officialsmake it clear that the readySC

program was a major factor inthe companys choice of SouthCarolina as the location for thenew facility.

readySCs serv ices played asignificant role in Horseheads

decision to locate in SouthCarolina, and its a decisionwe havent regretted, saysEric Stroom, plant manager.

The readySC team did anoutstanding job supportingthe recruitment and trainingof our initial workforce.

The team worked closelywith our group to developa spot-on curriculum andtraining vehicle that our staffeffectively delivered. This programwas an essential ingredient inproviding our new employeeswith a basic understanding ofHorseheads mission, expectations,

technologies and processes onday one of employment. Ourstartup was a tremendous success,due in large part to the preparationof our workforce through readySC.It was a tremendous team effort.
