Moraine-based Fuyao Glass America Inc. is expanding its South Carolina operations, according to the governor’s office in that state.

Fuyao on Tuesday said it would expand its operations in Greenville County, South Carolina. The company’s $34.5 million investment will create 121 new jobs, according to an announcement from the office of Gov. Henry McMaster.

Chinese manufacturer Fuyao Group has more than 2,000 employees in Moraine, in what has been said to be the world’s biggest plant devoted to the production of automotive glass for automakers and aftermarket suppliers.

Fuyao, which also has operations in Illinois, makes 4 million glass car sets in the United States annually.
