Tesla to Open Parts Distribution Center in Greenville County, SC

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Jan. 18, 2024 - PRLog -- Tesla (https://www.tesla.com/) will open a regional distribution center in Fountain Inn in Greenville County, S.C. in early 2024, another promising development in support of the booming automotive and EV economy of the Upstate and South Carolina. The center is Tesla's first major investment in operations in South Carolina.

The inaugural Tesla facility in the Palmetto State will be situated in Fox Hill Business Park (https://foxhillbusinesspark.com/) -- the celebrated Class A business and industrial park which came online in 2020.

Fox Hill Business Park, located on 172 acres in the City of Fountain Inn (https://www.fountaininn.org/), is being developed by  The Sudler Companies (https://www.sudlerco.com/), a family- and veteran-owned and operated development firm based in Chatham, New Jersey.

"Tesla's commitment to Fox Hill Business Park in Greenville County is a testament to the continued strength of our company's partnership with Tesla and to the indisputable drivers that make the park and the Upstate a force in the logistics world," said Brian Sudler, Principal with The Sudler Companies. "Access to world-class labor, a friendly business environment, quality of life and proximity to more than 90 million people within one day's drive combine to make Greenville County the vital and dynamic area it is known to be."

Tesla's work in Greenville will focus strictly on distribution of vehicle parts regionally and will not include manufacturing. Tesla will absorb all of Fox Hill's Building 3, comprised of 251,100 square feet. Depending on final development strategies, the Fox Hill Business Park campus can accommodate up to 2.5 million square feet of manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing activity across multiple buildings. Total investment and planned job additions by Tesla have not been made public.

A company focused on accelerating the world's transition to sustainable energy, Tesla operates six vertically integrated factories across three continents and employs over 100,000 employees who design, build, sell and service Tesla products in-house.

Fox Hill Business Park features immediate access to I-385, I-85, the Inland Port, and Greenville Spartanburg International Airport. A short drive to the Port of Charleston and the Inland Port in Greer, it offers easy access to the booming Southeast's hubs of industry and commerce.

"The addition of the Tesla brand to Greenville's business ecosystem is another example of the important role that speculative development plays in today's competitive environment, and exactly why Greenville County was so supportive of The Sudler Companies and Fox Hill Business Park," said Kevin Landmesser, Interim CEO of the Greenville Area Development Corporation (https://greenvilleeconomicdevelopment.com/). "Our market is extremely strong thanks to quality investment by organizations like The Sudler Companies, and we will continue to support site development to attract more high-quality companies to Greenville County."
