Greenville, South Carolina – Vivacity, an educational technology company, is set to enhance its operations with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 8 as it inaugurates a new flagship facility in Greenville. The new facility, strategically located in the Axial Crossroads logistics park near Interstate 185, signifies pivotal growth as the company moves its headquarters to this vibrant city.
The newly established center spans 67,000 square feet and will function as a distribution, assembly, and support hub, thereby strengthening Vivacity’s commitment to helping schools maximize their limited technological resources. Since its inception in 2018, Vivacity has grown exponentially, now supporting over 1 million devices across more than 2,000 school districts nationwide.
With the surge in demand for educational technology, notably the deployment of Google-supported Chromebooks in K-12 classrooms (an estimated 50 million units), Vivacity’s expansion comes at a crucial time in the educational sector. The Greenville facility will act as not only a shipping and assembly center but also as the nucleus for research and development, marking an essential addition to the company’s nationwide footprint, which includes facilities in St. Paul, MN, Chicago, and Denver.
CEO Eli Maloley has designated the newly established Greenville location as the company’s “crown jewel.” Initially, the facility will employ around 100 employees, with plans for workforce expansion potentially reaching 400 as operations ramp up. The center will serve as the largest site for Vivacity’s production, distribution, and repair activities, focusing on innovative assembly and repair methods designed to optimize efficiency.
State-of-the-art capabilities planned for the Greenville facility include laser etching equipment and a vinyl wrapping printer, which will provide customizable options for educational technology solutions. As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), Vivacity emphasizes accountability to community, environment, and sustainable profit rather than just financial gain. The company is also dedicated to philanthropy, supporting local organizations such as Mill Village Ministries, Front Porch Housing, the Julie Valentine Center, and Loaves and Fishes.
In addition to fostering community relationships, Vivacity has implemented a “Repair Academy” program that trains students in maintaining and repairing classroom technology at no cost to schools. The program involves a curriculum consisting of 60 to 100 hours of training, serving to benefit schools financially while also creating a pathway for future talent in the technology sector.
