Thermo King the transport refrigeration brand of global climate innovator Trane Technologies, announced plans to establish new operations in Greenville County, South Carolina. The $30 million investment will create 220 new jobs and add nearly 300,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity designed to enable and sustain the company’s future growth.
“We are proud to expand our Thermo King operations to Greenville County, and we are grateful to the state of South Carolina for its partnership. It’s an exciting time for our business, and we are happy to be joining such a supportive community rich with talent,” stated Thermo King Americas President Karin De Bondt.
“South Carolina’s elite workforce continues to attract top tier businesses, and today’s announcement by Trane Technologies’ Thermo King will further boost our reputation as a state that can get any job done, said South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster. “We’ve worked hard to create a pro-business environment, and our efforts continue to pay off.”
Thermo King will establish its operations at a site located in Willimon Industrial Park, located at 1500 Perimeter Road and situated just south of the South Carolina Technology & Aviation Center (SCTAC).
Thermo King will begin hiring immediately for key management roles in areas such as production, human resources, information technology and manufacturing engineering. Job fairs and new employee training events will take place this summer, and the site will be operational by mid-2023.
