South Carolina & Dräxlmaier: A Brief History to a Long Relationship

Since 1996, the Dräxlmaier Group has been continuously expanding its facility in Duncan,

S.C.

The Duncan Facility is not only a major production and distribution hub, but a center for

research and development and Dräxlmaier North American headquarters.

Over the last 15 years, with the help of the state and local government, and the great people

who work for us, we have prospered and made South Carolina and Spartanburg County our

home in North America.

Driving Factors for Expansion

This project is necessary to facilitate the growth in new customer contracts for our interior

and electrical products.

In addition, the expansion is also needed to keep up with the increased demand for our

products under existing contracts.

Our current facility is too small to accommodate both the new business, production

requirements and increased capacity overall.

The benefits to DAA and the County and the State of South Carolina are many.

Plant Expansion

The heart and main project of this expansion is the new 72,000 sq. foot production hall.

This new building is designed to support the increased manufacturing needs of our

company.

As of today, we have invested $30 million in construction and new equipment.

Plant Upgrades

We plan to further invest $2.5 million in the renovating our existing facility.

This will entail modernizing and expanding our North America headquarters as well as our

existing manufacturing facility.

We will also re-invest in $5 million in new tools and machinery to meet the demands and

specifications of our new projects.

New Jobs for The Upstate

This new expansion has currently created 200 new jobs.

The jobs growth our expansion will promote among our suppliers and other business in the

area.

We plan to add over $5 million per year to the payrolls.

Cooperation is Key

Dräxlmaier is proud of its close cooperation with state and local governments.

The process for applying for incentives is transparent and straight forward.

When applying for incentives, the help and support from the State of South Carolina and

Spartanburg County is second to none.

MOVING AHEAD THE AUTOMOTIVE FUTURE

True to our company motto, Dräxlmaier strives to be innovative and focused on sustainable

growth in North America.

We are convinced that South Carolina and Dräxlmaier will move ahead together into a bright

Future.
