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.
