Whenever a major automaker opens a factory in a new area, their suppliers will also open factories there for things like the seats, wiring, auto glass, brackets, etc. This way they are close enough for their trucks to meet the automakers demands for just-in-time delivery.

If you haven't been to the factory in Greer, they have a museum there that is worth visiting. Not as big as the one in Munich, but still good. It looks like they might still be doing factory tours, too.
