The InterTech Group announced that its aerospace subsidiary, TIGHitCo (T-I-G-hit-co), will construct a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in North Charleston. 

Upon completion, the project will represent a $30 and $40 million investment, and is expected to generate approximately 350 jobs. 

“The InterTech Group is thrilled to be able to create new jobs and generate economic opportunities for South Carolina,” InterTech CEO Anita Zucker said. 

TIGHitCo is an industrial and aerospace engineering, design, manufacturing and repair company. The North Charleston location will be the sixth manufacturing facility for TIGHitCo, whose other locations are in Georgia, Connecticut and Mexico.  

TIGHitCo products are utilized by companies worldwide and can be found on the majority of aircraft built in North America. 

“The southeast is becoming a major hub for the aerospace industry, and by opening a facility in South Carolina we will have the ability to provide better service to our customers,” InterTech President Jonathan Zucker said. 

The new TIGHitCo facility will be located in Palmetto Commerce Park. The facility will be built in phases. The initial phase, totaling 120,000 square feet, is projected to be complete by fall of 2012. Ultimately, it is planned that the facility will reach 300,000 square feet. The timeline for construction of the final phases will be based on capacity utilization and the needs of the customers.
