COLUMBIA, S.C. – SAGE Automotive Interiors, a firm that develops and manufactures innovative automotive body cloth and headliners, is investing $4 million to expand its existing operations in Abbeville County, S.C., where it has two facilities, the S.C. Dept. of Commerce (DoC) announced.

 

This project reflects the company's ongoing commitment to remain a leader in the dynamic global automotive market, the DoC said.

 

"Sage Automotive Interiors is pleased to make this announcement for our company and particularly our Abbeville locations,” said Sage Automotive Interiors President and CEO Dirk Pieper. “As we face global competition on cost and performance, we continue to invest in our core strengths in South Carolina to support our future growth."

 

Established in 2009, SAGE Automotive Interiors is a top provider to original equipment manufacturers in the automotive industry. Headquartered in Greenville, S.C., the company operates four facilities in the Palmetto State, employing about 900 South Carolinians overall. Serving the global automotive market, SAGE Automotive Interiors also operates more than 15 facilities across North and South America, Asia and Europe.

 

To expand its existing Abbeville County operations, the company is investing in equipment and technology upgrades for its two existing Abbeville, S.C. plants. Expected to be completed in phases beginning late this year, the expansion will allow SAGE Automotive Interiors to position its facilities for future growth.
