Tired of Winning? Trump Brings in Massive Manufacturer That Serves 30 Countries, 91,000 Sq. Ft. Factory Coming Soon |

The U.S. economy is displaying encouraging signs of growth during President Donald Trump’s administration.

On Tuesday, Republican Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina revealed that Mega Metal, a Turkey-based copper wire manufacturer, will establish its inaugural facility in the town of Ridgeway, located approximately 25 miles north of Columbia.

This initiative is expected to create 135 new jobs and represents a substantial investment of $34 million.

The new facility will span 91,000 square feet and is projected to produce 55 million pounds of electrolytic oxygen-free copper wire annually.

This wire has applications in the automotive, medical, aerospace, and defense sectors.

“Operations are anticipated to commence in September 2025,” McMaster announced.

According to the governor’s press release, Mega Metal currently operates in over 30 countries and employs more than 700 individuals worldwide.

There’s little doubt that Mega Metal’s establishment in South Carolina will invigorate these industries and foster further economic development.

Mega Metal Inc.’s Board Chairman, Cuneyt Turgut, remarked on the investment, stating, “This endeavor in Fairfield County signifies not just a manufacturing achievement — it reflects our enduring commitment to the North American market. We take pride in evolving alongside South Carolina, contributing to the local economy, and laying a foundation for industrial excellence. This investment positions Mega Metal to become a pivotal player in the U.S. supply chain, providing essential support to high-demand sectors across the continent.”

A White House memo dated April 29 indicates that since his inauguration in January, Trump has facilitated the creation of 345,000 jobs, with over half of these positions being outside the government sector.

After the avian flu and inflationary pressures under former President Joe Biden turned eggs into a luxury item, April witnessed the most significant drop in egg prices in four decades.

On Tuesday, the White House announced that Trump had secured a monumental deal with Qatar, valued at $1.2 trillion, in the aerospace and defense sectors.

Additionally, on May 8, the White House reported that Trump and UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer had struck a trade agreement that will facilitate billions in American exports to the British market.

And the list continues to grow.

According to a study by Pew Research conducted in September 2024, the primary concern for Trump’s supporters in the upcoming election is the economy.

From his inauguration to the present, it appears that the president is tuning into the priorities of his base and responding accordingly.

The economy is not merely a distant conflict or an abstract cultural conundrum.

People are acutely aware of their financial realities; they check bank balances, purchase groceries, and pay bills.

With the creation of new jobs, decreasing prices, and promising trade opportunities, the outlook is decidedly optimistic.
