NEWBERRY, S.C. — Samsung plans to open a $380 million home appliance manufacturing plant in Newberry, roughly halfway between Greenville and Columbia, S.C. The project is expected to produce 954 jobs, including craftsmen, operators, engineers and other technical and non-technical positions, by 2020. Samsung already operates a call center in Greenville that supports 800 full time and contracted jobs. The Newberry plant is the latest in a series of investments over the past 18 months totaling $10 billion that will expand Samsung’s U.S. holdings and operations.
