The Greenville Area Development Corporation announced today that EuroKera will expand its manufacturing facility located in the Southchase Industrial Park in Fountain Inn. The $15 Million announced capital investment will add approximately 60,000 square feet to the size of the existing facility and result in approximately 10 new jobs being created. EuroKera is a joint venture between Corning, Inc. and the French glass company, Saint Gobain. It is a leading manufacturer of glass ceramic cook tops for consumer ovens. While glass melting occurs at a plant in France, the Fountain Inn plant along with a sister plant in France use a technically advanced finishing process and then forward the cook tops on to their customers. Albert DiGiovanni, President of EuroKera, said, �The EuroKera organization is very proud to have been a member of the Greenville Community for the past seven years. We are excited about our continuing growth in the Greenville area and appreciate the GADC�s and County Council�s role in providing a favorable environment for our planned investment. � Governor Jim Hodges, added, �Innovative and progressive companies like EuroKera have discovered that South Carolina has the talented workers they need to reach their business goals. EuroKera�s expansion demonstrates that they have met their initial benchmarks and want to continue where the business climate positively impacts their bottom-line.� EuroKera began production at its Greenville facility in 1995; today, the plant employs approximately 75 manufacturing associates. �Given the recent layoffs in our community, we are very pleased by EuroKera�s good news and hope there is more to come,� said Wayne Davis, Mayor of Fountain Inn.
