Why did the company choose to cross state lines and make its new home in South Carolina? SAEDACCO President Pete Byer explained, �The affordability of property is much more attractive than in our current location of Mecklenburg County, NC. South Carolina�s strong incentive program to assist the fabrication and assembly sides of our business was also a big driving factor.� SAEDACCO�s new location in close proximity to the SC/NC state line will enable the company to take prime advantage of an outstanding network of highways and large employee pool, while also benefiting from significant costs savings in the Palmetto State.
