Lexington-based Prysmian Group North America is to invest $1.9 million in its Abbeville facility, creating five new jobs for the area. Opened in 1964, the Abbeville plant features North America’s only vertical continuous vulcanization manufacturing line. The 373-feet-high line housing tower, built in 2009, is said to be the tallest building in South Carolina. “The Abbeville plant is the cornerstone of the operations of Prysmian North America, and we are blessed to have sustained business from longtime customers combined with some new relationships,” said Cecil Talley, director of operations at the Abbeville plant. “We have organically grown to meet demand and to ensure our plant is operating efficiently, and I’m grateful to our Abbeville employees for their role in our success.” The Abbeville plant is one of ten North American locations for Prysmian Group, which has invested $20 million in improvements and expansions at the South Carolina facility.
