Fayat Group breaks ground for new North American parts distribution center
Fayat Group recently held a ground-breaking ceremony to turn first dirt on the company’s new 100,000-square-foot parts distribution center in Fairfield County, South Carolina.
The $13.7 million investment will expand Fayat’s operations in Fairfield County for its Road Equipment Division – which includes Bomag Americas, Dynapac North America, Charlatte North America, Asphalt Drum Mixers, Fsyat Cleantech and the newly acquired Mecalac Group – to improve its after-sales support for customers throughout North America.
Built adjacent to the company’s Bomag Americas North American headquarters, the project will also enable Fayat to increase localized production for its road machinery and enhance its training capabilities.
“I am proud to announce another strategic investment that will benefit the entire Road Division in multiple ways,” says Jean-Claude Fayat, president. “Groundbreaking for this new distribution center in Fairfield County is not just a new facility. It is a symbol of our strategic investment in North America, Fairfield County, our dealers and our customers. This expansion is more than a business decision. It’s a testament to our confidence in the future of North America and our deep appreciation for the hardworking communities here.”
“Ten years ago, the Fayat Group made a strategic decision to invest in Fairfield County. Ever since, we’ve experienced tremendous success, thanks in no small part to the outstanding local workforce. The skill, commitment and work ethic of the people have made a lasting impact on our business. Today, this workforce has become one of our greatest competitive advantages,” says Rob Muekler, general manager, Fayat North America Road Equipment Division.
It is expected to bring 75 new jobs to the Columbia, South Carolina area, adding to the more than 120 employees at Fayat’s existing facility.
