For more than three decades, Safe-Guard Products International has been the leading provider of branded protection products for the automotive, RV, powersports, and marine industries across North America. In September, we announced the expansion of our call center services just southeast of downtown Greenville and only two-and-a-half hours from the company’s Atlanta headquarters. The new facility was strategically chosen to remain within the southern automotive corridor.

Safe-Guard’s Protection Products Platform is highly rated by customers and trusted by more than 65 partner brands across North America. While our industry-leading platform and its next-gen technology set the standard, our concentrated efforts to recruit, train, and develop team members remain a top priority. Placing additional highly skilled customer support representatives in Greenville closer to customers, while also expanding the team, allows us to deliver an integrated, end-to-end branded customer journey and unparalleled customer satisfaction.

We’re excited to bring Safe-Guard into such a wonderful and thriving community. South Carolina is a leader in the automotive sector. Home to nearly 500 automotive-related companies, with an annual economic impact of more than $27 billion, the state is the No. 1 automobile exporter and the No. 1 tire producer and exporter in the U.S., accounting for nearly one-third of U.S. market share. While we will open the call center with approximately 25 employees, we have plans to expand to 100 employees by the end of 2024.

As we grow, we’re excited not only to have more talented customer service representatives join our team, but we’re elated to become more involved in the Greenville community and Chamber of Commerce. We look forward to meeting all of you as we expand our presence, and we’re thankful the Chamber is helping us connect more quickly.
