SC Manufacturing Conference and Expo

SkyDrive has put quite a stake in the ground in South Carolina, opening its first U.S. office in Beaufort County and now using Greenville Metropolitan Airport as the base for launching its product in South Carolina.

We're still reflecting on last week's incredible experience?at the SC Manufacturing Conference and Expo! From meaningful industry discussions to networking with peers, we left inspired and grateful. We’re especially proud to have received not one but two recognitions during the event: ? Jena-Christine L., our Vertical Segment Lead, was honored at the ?????????????????????????? ???????????? event for 2024. This distinction, now in its second year, celebrates pioneering female leaders who are making waves in South Carolina’s manufacturing landscape.

Love this lede from Ross Norton: Act I for the Scout vehicle faded to black in 1980. Act II was something car people may have dreamed about from time to time, just as surely as Hollywood movers have considered (and still consider) a sequel to 'Gone with the Wind.' But even the dreamers — at least most of them — thought it wise to let the vehicle take its place in history as a beloved and unique early example of a can-do SUV. The vice president for growth of the new?Scout Motors?said a lot of things changed in the four decades that followed. That VP of growth is Cody Thacker, who delivered the keynote address at SC Biz News' South Carolina Manufacturing Conference and Expo. Read about his remarks below.
