Snider Fleet Solutions Relocating to South Carolina
South Carolina officials are welcoming Snider Fleet Solutions’ corporate relocation from a neighboring state in a $6.9 million investment that will create 167 jobs.
Gov. Henry McMaster declared May 23, “As the No. 1 exporter of tires in the country, South Carolina has built a strong reputation as the top place for tire manufacturers to locate, as evidenced by today’s announcement. Snider Fleet Solutions will only help grow this reputation, and we look forward to strengthening our partnership in the future.”
The company, founded in 1972 in Greensboro, N.C., distributes new and retread commercial and industrial tires, and offers mechanical services and technology solutions.
It is moving its current North Carolina headquarters (in Greensboro and Newton) to an existing facility at 1081 Red Ventures Drive in Lancaster County near U.S. Route 521. The north-central site is located 60 miles north of Columbia and 40 miles south of Charlotte, N.C.
The relocation will enable Snider Fleet Solutions to consolidate management operations and better facilitate collaboration across its service groups. From more than 80 locations nationwide, Snider Fleet Solutions is one of the largest service providers in the transportation and construction industries, servicing over 75% of the United States.
