PG Aerospace, a manufacturer of precision parts for the automotive and aerospace industries, has announced plans to move a new facility to Pickens County.

The company, which makes custom-designed, stamped and machine metals, is in the process of renovating a 15,000-square-foot facility in Liberty. The project will bring 22 new jobs to the county.

PG Aerospace is a leader in research and development, custom products, stampings, assemblies, laminates and more. Its clients include Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies worldwide.

PG Aerospace CEO Ana Prodani said the company is "extremely excited to be bringing 22 jobs to the city of Liberty" and hopes to be in operation by the end of January 2018.

Prodani said the company has begun the process of interviewing job candidates, and expects "to be fully moved in and operating by the end of January."

Prodani said the company is looking for tool and die makers, machinists, press operators, and quality control supervisors.

South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said the news is another reminder that the manufacturing industry "continues to be a tremendous job creator for our state's economy.

"PG Aerospace's announcement is another sign of that. South Carolina continues to show the world that it is the best place for companies to do business," McMaster said.

"Announcements like this one from PG Aerospace bring new jobs to our communities and help make them sustainable," state Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt said.

"We are all thrilled to welcome PG Aerospace to the Pickens County family of creative, innovative and extraordinary companies who call Pickens County their home, and we look forward to celebrating their continued success," Pickens County Council Chairman Roy Costner said.
