Spartanburg SC Business News
Spartanburg County attracted $3.5 billion in new capital investment in 2025 alone — driven by advanced manufacturing, aerospace, biotechnology, and high-performance computing. The county is home to BMW's largest manufacturing plant in the world in Greer, producing 1,500 vehicles per day with 11,000+ associates. Global headquarters for Denny's and Milliken & Company anchor the corporate base, while Michelin North America, ZF Chassis Systems, and Draexlmaier Automotive fuel a deep automotive supply chain across the Upstate.
The I-85/I-26 interchange — nicknamed "the Autobahn" for its concentration of German manufacturers — connects Spartanburg to Greenville, Charlotte, and Atlanta along one of the fastest-growing economic corridors in the Southeast. The Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) and South Carolina's first Inland Port make the county a logistics hub for East Coast distribution. More than 200 foreign-owned enterprises from 36 countries operate here.
From downtown Spartanburg's six-college campus and 19,000+ jobs within 1.5 miles of Morgan Square, to the manufacturing corridors of Duncan, Woodruff, and Boiling Springs, to new investments in aerospace (Woodward, Inc., $200M), AI computing (NorthMark Strategies, $2.8B), and 3D printing (AIRSYS Cooling Technologies, new global HQ) — business in Spartanburg County is diversifying faster than at any point in its history.
HERE Spartanburg tracks every layer of the Upstate economy: corporate relocations, retail openings, restaurant launches, workforce trends, commercial real estate, small business growth in Inman, Chesnee, Landrum, Pacolet, and Campobello, and the government decisions that shape how businesses grow.
