HARDEEVILLE, S.C. (WBTV) – A manufacturing corporation will invest $134 million into a new plant in South Carolina that is expected to create more than 450 new jobs.

The corporation, TS Conductor, will open its new factory in the Clarius Park industrial area in Hardeeville, S.C.

The Hardeeville plant will be TS Conductor’s second in the United States and will make high-capacity power lines needed to expand the power grid to meet increasing demand from AI data centers and domestic manufacturing growth. The plant will start as a 301,275-square-foot facility that will eventually be expanded by another one million square feet in space.

According to TS Conductor’s website, the “mega factory will increase production capacity twentyfold.”

Operations are expected to begin at the new plant by the end of 2025. Anyone interested in working there can apply for jobs here.

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster said TS Conductor’s arrival in the state proves it to be “an ideal location for innovative companies to establish operations.”

The new factory is near the intersection of highways 17 and 170, and is only about 10 miles from the Port of Savannah.
