Automation Company Expanding in Greenville, SC

In recent years, a long roster of advanced manufacturing operations have selected Greenville, South Carolina to locate and expand. Now, Process Automation Solutions (PA Soluations) is expanding its presence as well.

A global supplier of automation solutions for the chemical and automotive markets, PA Solutions has announced it will soon break ground on a new facility in Greenville which it expects will create 40 new jobs. This new building – which will complement the company’s U.S. headquarters, also located in Greenville – will include an engineering department that will focus on electrical design, PLC and robot programming and simulation.

Quoted in a recent South Carolina Department of Commerce announcement, PA Solutions Operations Manager David Mothersbaugh says, “We are excited to invest in the Upstate’s workforce by continuing to employ and develop native South Carolinian talent to provide local controls and robotics support to our manufacturing neighbors. Both Greenville County and the State have been welcoming and supportive as we aim to foster new talent to service the area’s manufacturing automation.”

Opportunities for technical education have certainly played a key role in Greenville’s success. Companies like PA Solutions rely on schools like ECPI University and its Greenville campus, to find graduates with the knowhow to do the job right. “PA Solutions continues to enjoy a positive experience with ECPI University in Greenville, SC and its graduates,” says David Mothersbaugh.
