Samsung Plans To Open $380 Million Home Appliance Plant In US, Creating Almost 1,000 Jobs (cnbc.com)
Samsung Electronics has agreed to open a $380 million home appliance manufacturing plant in Newberry County, South Carolina. The new plant is expected to generate 954 local jobs by 2020. CNBC reports: The South Korean firm said this year it was in talks to build a home appliances plant in the United States amid worries about protectionist policies under U.S. President Donald Trump put pressure on global companies to generate jobs in the country. "With this investment, Samsung is reaffirming its commitment to expanding its U.S. operations and deepening our connection to the American consumers, engineers and innovators," Samsung Electronics America President and CEO Tim Baxter said.
After getting the run around after buying a $3000 fridge when the ice maker broke after 3 months, I spent 4 hours on the phone with them, and they eventually hung up. After the exploding phone fiasco, It seems they went from nearly non existent support hours to 24/7. All of a sudden they were very cooperative. Of course they were.. the warranty was out, and it no longer cost them anything.
Ive had their support lie to me about monitors for my work I was attempting to RMA. They closed the ticket without even calling me. When asked about this they said they spoke to me and everything was fine. Nope. They never called. Their support system never even showed an update to the ticket.
Washer and Dryer. Also broken after 1 year. No support.
Never again.
... or that he hasn't delivered?
Everyone who believed his heath care promises.
Samsung first considered setting up shop in the United States about three years ago, the company said, and started talks with South Carolina last fall. The firm said it picked Newberry County for its workforce, transportation infrastructure — the plant is 150 miles from the Port of Charleston — and “commitment to public-private partnerships.”
