ATG announces $6.2 million investment with new Florence County headquarters, set to open in late 2024 and generate 77 new jobs

Florence County, South Carolina – Asset Technology Group, Inc. (ATG) announced its intentions to expand and move its headquarters to Florence County, a move that will further strengthen the local economy. With a projected investment of $6.2 million and the generation of 77 new jobs, this decision marks a major turning point in the company’s development.

Originally opened in nearby Darlington County in 2005, ATG has been well-known for offering strong IT solutions and infrastructure solutions primarily to local governments and small and medium-sized companies.

Located at 901 Second Loop Road in Florence, the new headquarters of the company will occupy 8,500 square feet. This development is considered as a strategic move to take advantage of the expanding tech scene in South Carolina, as the headquarters projected to be fully operational by the fourth quarter of 2024.

Bill Lynch, CEO of Asset Technology Group, Inc., expressed his enthusiasm about the expansion.

“We are thrilled to announce the move of our headquarters to Florence, South Carolina with the acquisition of an 8,500-square-foot facility on Second Loop Road,” said Lynch. ” This move represents a significant milestone for Asset Technology Group as we continue to grow and innovate. We are deeply appreciative of the support from the South Carolina Department of Commerce and Florence County, whose assistance has been instrumental in creating this economic opportunity.”
