A manufacturer of wire harnesses for various industries today announced plans to expand operations in Spartanburg County with a $966,000 investment it says will create 74 new jobs.

Established in 2011, GML Industries LLC produces wire harnesses, electromechanical solutions including electrical and control panels and cable assemblies for original equipment manufacturers, according to a news release from the S.C. Commerce Department. The company serves clients in the automotive industry including emergency vehicles, mining vehicles and engine refuelers for airports.

Located at 1875 E. Main St. in Duncan, GML Industries’ Upstate operations will allow the company to increase production capabilities and respond to growing demand for its products. The Spartanburg County facility will manufacture automotive wiring harnesses as well as electrical and control panels, electrical boxes and cables, the news release said.

The facility is currently operational.

“GML Industries LLC is excited to open our new location in Spartanburg County,” GML Industries LLC Owners Melinda Freeman, Del McGighan-Lukens and Gerri McGighan-Lukens said in a written statement. “We see this as positive growth in our support of our current and future customers having two locations on which to draw talent and automotive wire harnesses as well increasing our electrical and control panels, electrical boxes and cable-building experience.”
