Accuride (ACW) is planning to invest about $8.73m to expand its aluminum wheel production capacity at its Kershaw County plant in South Carolina, US.
As part of the expansion, the company which produces and supplies commercial vehicle components, would build two machine lines and create about 25 new jobs.
Accuride president and CEO Rick Dauch said the company is pleased to move forward with plans to expand its Kershaw County operations.
"Our investment helps to ensure we have the right production capacity in place where and when our customers need it, at a higher standard of quality and dependability," Dauch said.
Accuride Camden director of operations Don Krampe said "South Carolina has the business environment and the skilled workforce our facility will require to successfully grow both now and in the future; and we appreciate the support we've received from both state and local officials to ensure that this happens."
In June last year, the company had acquired Forgitron Technologies, including the 80,000 sq ft manufacturing facility located at 30 Hengst Boulevard in Camden.
