Charlotte, NC
Techtronic Industries Co., Ltd. (TTI) announced on Monday its decision to relocate its North American Floorcare Business from Charlotte, North Carolina to Anderson, South Carolina by June 1, 2026. This significant move will affect TTI Floorcare North America, which is well-known for its floorcare and cleaning appliances, including brands such as Hoover, Oreck, and Dirt Devil.
Since 2019, TTI has made substantial investments in South Carolina, exceeding $500 million. The company currently operates a global innovation center in Anderson, which employs more than 1,500 team members and encompasses over 500,000 square feet of office, engineering, and testing space, in addition to 3 million square feet dedicated to distribution and warehouse operations.
TTI’s CEO expressed that this relocation represents a pivotal milestone for the company, with plans aimed at accelerating innovation and profitability while ensuring no disruption to services for existing customers or partners during the transition.
Details of the Relocation
The complete relocation is slated to be finalized by June 1, 2026. Anderson County has plans to purchase the TTI manufacturing plant located on Pearman Dairy Road. This acquisition aims to establish a complex that encourages future business relocations to the area. This joint project involves TTI, Tri-County Tech, and multiple government entities, with funding supported by state grants from South Carolina totaling $10 million, which includes $1 million designated for a “soft landing zone.”
TTI President indicated that the sale of the property would allow the company to maintain its momentum in transitioning to a new campus. As the region adapts to this change, the Upstate South Carolina area has witnessed the closures of both smaller and larger businesses in 2024. Significant job losses have occurred recently, including 124 layoffs at the automotive company Gentherm in Greenville, a facility closure at TTI Consumer Power Tools in Gaffney affecting 114 workers, and a nationwide closure announcement by American Freight impacting nine locations in South Carolina.
Future Opportunities
The TTI expansion is projected to create approximately 525 new jobs, with plans for a one-million-square-foot manufacturing plant and warehouse space aimed at enhancing operational capabilities in Anderson. The completion of this expansion is expected to occur by the fourth quarter of 2022, indicating a timely and strategic move for TTI within the evolving business climate of South Carolina.
Overall, this strategic relocation marks a significant step for TTI as it reinforces its commitment to investment and growth in South Carolina, contributing positively to the local economy while positioning itself for future innovations in the floorcare market.
