Home to more than 500 automotive companies, South Carolina’s supplier network is a major factor in the industry’s vitality and enduring success. S.C. Commerce routinely hosts B2B matchmaker and supplier outreach events to help companies find local solutions to supplier needs and foster strong business relationships within the state.
The agency recently hosted the first supplier outreach event for eVAC Magnetics — the Sumter-based, rate-earth permanent magnets manufacturer that announced its S.C. investment in December 2023. The supplier outreach event provided an opportunity for nearly 65 companies to have one-on-one meetings with eVAC Magnetics’ procurement team for the opportunity to support immediate supplier needs.
For companies seeking upcoming B2B matchmaker and supplier outreach opportunities, the 2025 South Carolina Automotive B2B Supplier Matchmaker will be held Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2025, in Greenville, S.C. Confirmed buyers include: AESC; BMW; BorgWarner; Clarion Technologies; Honda; JTEKT; Magna; Mergon; Oshkosh Defense; Scout Motors; Volvo Cars; ZF Transmission; and recently added — Bridgestone. Register while tickets are still available.
