FAYAT Group Expanding Fairfield County Operations

RIDGEWAY, SC — FAYAT Group (FAYAT), a producer of road equipment, announces it is expanding its Road Equipment Division operations in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The company’s $13.7 million investment will create 75 new jobs.

“FAYAT moved its BOMAG North American headquarters to Fairfield County just over 10 years ago to leverage several strategic benefits — being close to port of entry, proximity to an air hub for spare parts distribution, and offering the opportunity for year-round sales and service training — for the purpose of being closer to and better serving our customers," said Rob Mueckler, FAYAT Road Equipment Division General Manager. "The fact that FAYAT is once again investing in Fairfield County by nearly doubling its footprint is testament to the successful implementation of this decision and the talent and dedication of the workforce.”

Founded in France in 1957, FAYAT, through its Road Equipment Division, produces and assembles equipment for all steps of the road life cycle — asphalt production, application, compaction, road maintenance, sweeping, cold milling, stabilization, and recycling — as well as airport vehicles. The company operates in 170 countries and has more than 23,000 employees worldwide.

Located in Ridgeway, South Carolina, FAYAT will construct a new 100,000-square-foot parts distribution facility to improve its aftersales support for customers throughout North America. The expansion will also allow FAYAT to increase its localization of production for road machinery at an existing facility in Fairfield County.

“FAYAT Group’s investment once again proves that South Carolina provides existing businesses with the resources needed to find continued success," Governor Henry McMaster said. "We celebrate the company’s partnership and decision to create 75 new jobs in the Fairfield County community.”
