We're still not tired of winning. In the latest, a Turkish company, Mega Metal, is planning to open a 91,000 square foot facility in South Carolina to manufacture a specific, specialized copper wire used in electronics and semiconductors.

The plant is expected to employ more than a hundred local workers.

A Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer announced on Tuesday it is investing $34 million in South Carolina to establish a 91,000-square-foot facility that will manufacture superfine electrolytic oxygen-free (EOF) copper wire in Fairfield County.

Mega Metal, which has more than 700 employees and distributes products to more than 30 countries, said the project will create 135 new jobs.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce 55 million pounds of wire annually.

That's not an enormous amount of wire when compared to the copper industry as a whole, but this is a highly specialized product that's only used in a relatively few applications. Even so, it's a significant development for Fairfield County, South Carolina:

"This investment in Fairfield County is not only a manufacturing milestone – it is a reflection of our long-term commitment to the North American market," said Mega Metal Inc. board chairman Cuneyt Turgut. "We are proud to grow alongside the state of South Carolina, contribute to the regional economy and build a foundation of industrial excellence."

That makes it sound like Mega Metal is planning more investment, and South Carolina's Governor McMaster sounds optimistic.

"This $34 million investment and 135 new jobs will bring opportunity to Fairfield County, boosting the region’s economy," South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster wrote in a statement. "Manufacturing is thriving in South Carolina, and I’m confident Mega Metal will be well-positioned with our strong workforce."

We should also note that, unlike the jobs created under the Biden administration and touted by Democrats as "progress," these jobs won't be part-time, minimum wage jobs. These will be manufacturing jobs, of the sort that once made the United States an industrial power, that built a strong, healthy middle class - the sort of middle class that could, on one solid income, buy a home, take vacations, and live the American dream.

For the United States to be once more a nation with a robust middle class, we have to once more become a country that makes things. This specialized copper wire may be a niche product, but that doesn't make it any less important to our economy and our industrial base, and it may well result in more investment in copper and other products. 

What's also interesting is that this is a company based in Turkey, which sees the logic in opening a plant in the United States to serve the market for their products more directly. This wasn't a decision made in a vacuum; there was something about the employment and business environment in the United States right now that made this an attractive proposition. There isn't any mention of any specific policy or program that may have influenced this decision, but we should note that it didn't happen under the Biden regime.

We're still winning. And there will be, no doubt, more winning to come.
