FAIRFIELD COUNTY, S.C. (WOLO)– A producer of road equipment, FAYAT Group (FAYAT) announced on Tuesday that the company is expanding its Road Equipment Division operations in Fairfield County.

Officials say the company’s $13.7 million expansion will create 75 new jobs.

FAYAT was founded in France in 1957, and produces and assembles equipment for all steps of the road lifecycle from asphalt production, application, compaction, road maintenance, sweeping, cold milling, stabilization and recycling as well as airport vehicles.

The company operates in 170 countries and has more than 23,000 employees worldwide, according to the Office of the Governor.

“FAYAT Group’s investment once again proves that South Carolina provides existing businesses with the resources needed to find continued success. We celebrate the company’s partnership and decision to create 75 new jobs in the Fairfield County community,” says Gov. Henry McMaster.

The expansion will also allow FAYAT to increase its localization of production for road machinery at an existing facility in Fairfield County, say officials.
