"Spartanburg County is the absolute perfect fit for our new corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant. We couldn't be happier with the warm welcome we have received from the staff at the Spark Center and all they have done to make our transition to our new home a reality,” Marcus Hamaker, Airsys Cooling Technologies Inc. executive vice president, said in the release.

Operations are expected to be online by February.

"Spartanburg welcomes Airsys Cooling Technologies into our robust advanced manufacturing and technology economy.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $100,000 Set Aside grant for costs associated with property improvements and approved job development credits related to the project.
