Giti Tire, a leading international tire manufacturer, based in Singapore just announced plans to build a $560 million plant and create about 1,700 jobs just south of Rock Hill, SC in Chester County.
The plant will be at a “mega site” off Interstate 77 near S.C. 9.
Giti Tire’s first North American manufacturing facility, its ninth worldwide – will produce both passenger and light truck tires. Workers at the 1.8-million-square-foot plant will both make and distribute tires. The company brands include GT Radial and Primewell.

Giti Tire’s investment, the number of jobs and the likelihood of spinoff economic development thrilled Chester County Supervisor Carlisle Roddey.
After the Giti announcement, the Lash Group and LPL Financial Carolinas each said they will build new facilities in Fort Mill.
The Lash Group plans to invest $90 million in a new company headquarters for up to 2,400 employees.
LPL Financial plans to invest at least $150 million in a new regional headquarters for up to 3,000 workers.
Both companies are locating in the Kingsley North business park at S.C. 160 and I-77.
