CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading technology infrastructure services company, is locating its new global headquarters operations in Lancaster County, South Carolina. The new development is projected to bring $41 million in new capital investment and lead to the creation of 1,500 new jobs over the next five to seven years, making this the largest single job announcement in Lancaster County history.
Located in the Bailes Ridge Business Park on S.C. Highway 160, CompuCom will be leasing a 150,000-square-foot building to serve as its new global headquarters. The newly-constructed building will house corporate offices and global contact center operations.
As an incentive, The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project, along with a Rural Infrastructure Fund grant of $1 million to assist with the costs of real property improvements.
“This is an exciting new chapter in CompuCom’s journey. We will build a state-of-the-art Command Center in the South Carolina office to serve as the hub of our Service Experience Management global contact center operations and corporate operations as well. In addition, CompuCom’s new headquarters in South Carolina places us closer to many of our clients, as well as near an expanding network of IT professionals in North and South Carolina,” said CompuCom CEO Dan Stone.
“When a company like CompuCom decides to build its global headquarters and create 1,500 new jobs here, it sends a message to the entire world that South Carolina is open for business. The commitment that this $41 million investment represents is extremely important to our state, and we could not be more excited to welcome this fantastic company to the South Carolina family,” Governor Nikki Haley said.
Wow, Lancaster County is killing now.
Charlotte NC's economic web is spilling over into Rock Hill, Chester, Lancaster, and York in South Carolina. Good for the home team.
And they will bring in Indians and muzzies to work, ignoring the millions of qualified Americans.
Good for my home area.
I was on a disastrous project for them and a large retailer. It would take a lot of space to describe it and I don’t want the bad memories.
Maybe they straighten up.
I doubt it.
I was in the Dallas call center two years ago when they pulled the plug and announced they were moving everything to Kentucky.
Of course, we were all welcome to sell our homes and move away from a lifetime of family here in Dallas to chase a job that we could be fired from at any time for no reason at all in Kentucky.
As far as I know there were no takers.
.
No surprise there.
I was supposed to get a week of trainimg on how to change out a whole Walgreens store of equipment in Dallas.
Three days were spent on paperwork.
One afternoon was how to drill a hole in a counter.
