Aerospace supplier to locate in Charleston
Aerospace supplier AHG Fasteners-USA Inc. plans to locate its U.S. operations in Charleston, the company said at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday.
Ateliers de la Haute Garonne, known as AHG, is a private family-owned business founded over a century ago near Toulouse, France. The company designs, manufactures and sells fastening systems for the aerospace industry.
“The availability of skilled workforce and proximity to Boeing were important factors in our decision to select this strategic location,” said Francoise Montsarrat, AHG executive vice president, in a news release. “Not only is Charleston ideally suited as a distribution hub for both domestic and overseas customers, the business-friendly climate, the support from the regional economic development authorities and other partners have been extremely welcoming.”
