Firearms Manufacturer Expanding SC Operations

FN America, a firearms manufacturer and subsidiary of FN Herstal, is expanding its operations in South Carolina with a new production facility in Pickens County. The $33 million investment will create approximately 176 new jobs. FN America already has operations in Richland County and plans to build its new facility in Liberty. The 100,000-square-foot or more facility will be constructed in two phases and will accommodate the company’s expanding manufacturing operations. FN America is a valued partner of the U.S. Department of Defense, developing and manufacturing small firearms for the U.S. military. The company plans to break ground in 2024 and complete the facility in 2025.
