SAATI American Corp. – maker of composite materials – will take over the old Kemet facility in Fountain Inn, bringing about 100 jobs to Greenville County, according to county councilman Butch Kirven.
The composite materials produced by the company are used in items like body armor and race car bodies.
At Tuesday's county council meeting, Kirven said the third and final reading of an agreement to announce the company’s arrival will be heard.
The jobs mostly consist of management and highly-skilled laborers, Kirven said.
An official announcement will be made Wednesday.
