Nason Company expanding OC Operations

It’s now official that an expansion is to bring $2.5 million in new investment to Oconee County. The South Carolina Department of Commerce and the Oconee Economic Alliance report that Nason Company, a manufacturer of electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components, is expanding its operations in Oconee County. The expansion will result in the creation of 26 new jobs. “Oconee County and the Upstate community continue to provide a strong home for our operation. These are exciting times for the Nason Company and we appreciate the continued support of the local and state governments,” said Nason Company President Stephen Mihaly. With more than 60 years’ experience, Nason Company is a provider of space-efficient electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic components for use in military and industrial applications. Offering a complete line of switches, cylinders and transducers, the company’s Oconee County operation is home to a team of more than 100 expert design engineers and customer service specialists. “For a company like the Nason Company to thrive and have the ability to continue to grow in our state after doing business here for more than two decades proves that Team South Carolina’s approach to creating a competitive environment for business development is working. We couldn’t be more excited to congratulate this fantastic company on the success it’s found here, and most importantly, thank them for the commitment they continue to show to the people of our state,” said South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Located at 1307 South Highway 11 in Walhalla, Nason Company will be constructing a 30,000-square-foot expansion of its existing facility. “Nason has been a wonderful corporate citizen of Oconee for many years and seeing this growth occur is highly encouraging on many fronts. This expansion means that even more first-class products will continue to be made in Oconee to satisfy a global customer base, and it further confirms that Oconee has the right business climate and the skilled workforce that thriving businesses need,” said Oconee County Council Chairman Paul Cain. Hiring for the new positions begins in the latter part of the third quarter of 2016. For more information on Nason Company, visit www.nasonptc.com.
