The company’s $10 million investment will create 52 jobs, according to Gov. Henry McMaster’s office. With more than 40 years of experience, Aerowerks specializes in the manufacture of custom material handling systems, including return conveyers, tray accumulators and dish machines, for the food service industry. The company operates a production facility in Ontario, Canada. Aerowerks’ new facility at 330 Huntington Road in Gaffney will design, manufacture and assemble the company’s material handling systems.
Operations are expected to be online later this month. Those interested in joining Aerowerks should contact Ping Chan ([email protected]).

Singh added, “This facility will be integral to our vision of providing high-quality, custom material handling systems, and we look forward to working alongside the community to create a successful and sustainable operation." |
