2012

Publisher - Lisa Jones ljones@scbiznews.com

Our annual Book of Lists has continued to grow with the addition of new lists and quick market facts about industries and trends in the Upstate. To help you quickly locate the information you need, the layout and design of the sections include color-coded tabs to identify where sections start and finish, and have section titles at the top of each page and on the tab for easy navigation. The Book of Lists is available in the traditional print edition and online at http://issuu.com/scbiz/docs/gsabol2012web. Upstate and statewide lists are also available for purchase in pdf and excel format at http://www.scbiznews.com/data.

This vital resource to the business community doesn’t happen without the support of our sponsors and advertisers. A special thank you to all, especially our title sponsors BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, the University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business, CertusBank and Upstate SC Alliance. Your continued support is vital and appreciated.

The lists in this publication were researched and prepared by our research and production team: Beverly Morgan, Clayton Wynne and Kevin Greene. We strive to maintain accuracy and heavily rely on the cooperation of contributing businesses to provide us with the most accurate information available. I want to express my appreciation to all the businesses in this year’s Book of Lists.

As always, we invite your suggestions and contributions of information and ideas regarding the lists. Your cooperation is essential to the accuracy and completion of each list. While the Book of Lists is published just once a year, you have the opportunity to update your information online anytime at www.gsabusiness.com under the “Resources” tab.

Thank you for being a reader of GSA Business and on behalf of the entire GSA Business staff, we wish you continued success in the coming year.

about our sponsors

W

e’re proud to sponsor the Book of Lists, because lists are great tools to have when you need to get things done — like choosing a health plan.

In a recent survey, South Carolinians listed these features for choosing an insurer: best price for the level of coverage, a large provider network to choose from, and good customer service. They also want their insurer to be a company that employs thousands of South Carolinians, gives back to the community and is financially strong and secure.

Not surprisingly, BlueCross and BlueChoice HealthPlan are at the top of the list for all of these attributes. When it’s time to select your next health plan, we hope we’ll be at the top of your list, too.

When we say we put our clients first, they couldn’t agree more.

To say we’re committed to putting clients’ interests first is easy. To have your clients say it on your behalf is meaningful. And they have. According to a recent national, independent report, Wells Fargo Advisors is a leader among U.S. investment firms when it comes to doing what’s best for clients.

“Customer Advocacy 2011: How Customers Rate U.S. Banks, Investment Firms, And Insurers,� Forrester Research, Inc., March, 2011. *Wells Fargo Advisors was among the leaders in terms of percentage of customers who agree with this statement, “My financial provider does what’s best for me, not just its bottom line.�Forrester Research, Inc. surveyed 4,965 U.S. Consumers to rate their banks, investment firms and insurance companies on customer advocacy. Out of the 11 investment firms rated in the survey, Wells Fargo Advisors was a leader among U.S. investment firms. The ratings may not be representative of any one client’s experience as the rating represents a sample of the firm’s clients and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Contributing to the Upstate’s Success The Upstate SC Alliance is a public/private regional economic development organization designed to market and brand the ten counties of the commerce-rich northwestern corner of South Carolina. Our vision is to successfully compete for business investment in the Upstate from around the world, which can enhance the quality of life for all Upstate residents by recruiting jobs, creating wealth, diversifying the tax base, and increasing per capita income.

We would like to express our appreciation to the following organizations, as well as our public sector partners for their continued support as it has enabled us to globally market this ten-county region to help attract over 12,000 new jobs and stimulate over $2.6 billion in capital investment since 2010.

Target Industry Study In November 2009, the Upstate SC Alliance unveiled its Target Industry Study. The strategy put forth in the study represents a broad, collaborative effort to supercharge the Upstate economy by 2015. It calls for heighted concentration of efforts and a holistic focus on a handful of target industries that will maximize the Upstate’s economic development. As a result, the Upstate will emerge as a highly sought after, international destination for its target industries.

Target Industries • AerospaceinUpstateSC.com • AutomotiveinUpstateSC.com • BioscienceinUpstateSC.com • EnergyinUpstateSC.com • MaterialsinUpstateSC.com

The goal of the Upstate SC Alliance is to help attract over $4.5 billion in capital investment and recruit over 18,000 new jobs by 2015. For the Upstate to fully realize this goal and bring about greater economic prosperity within the ten counties served, we need your support. Together we can build awareness of the Upstate’s many assets and ultimately stimulate additional capital investments from companies and recruit more jobs for our community. Regional economic development success begins with you.

In health care, the 80/20 rule isn’t a business principle, it’s a value proposition.

Eighty percent of health care costs come from just 20 percent of the population. So a good health plan shouldn’t simply pay claims, but should also keep healthy members well and put those with chronic conditions in better control of their illnesses.

That’s the value of Blue! No matter where our members fit into the 80/20 rule, there are programs, services or tools to help them maintain or improve their health.

That means lower claims costs, less absenteeism from work or school and more productive employees.

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina

And with the best negotiated rates on the largest provider network in the state and nation, our members get the health care they need for the lowest out-ofpocket costs, no matter what stage of health they’re in.

From preventive checkups with network doctors to proactive case management from our caring nurses, BlueCross and BlueChoice HealthPlan offer more than a benefit plan — we offer a value proposition: the broadest access to quality health care services at the most for your money.

BlueChoice HealthPlan of South Carolina

Let us help you strengthen your health benefits and stabilize your costs. Call us today at 1-877-313-2583.

Sixty-Five yearS BeneFiting South Carolina BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and BlueChoice HealthPlan of South Carolina are independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

USC School of Medicine–Greenville welcomes students August 2012 As an academic institution, Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS) trains medical professionals in hopes of easing projected shortages of doctors, nurses and other health workers. Starting August 2012, GHS will serve as campus home for the charter class of medical students at the new USC School of Medicine–Greenville.

Why is this considered a “prescription for success”? Because the best way to ensure a workforce of health professionals is to “grow them yourself.” Students and residents often settle where they are trained, which means GHS can help meet the medical needs of our growing community. ghs.org

Yet one company still stands tall after 65 years …

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina. And our success is South Carolina’s success.

As a highly diversified corporation of more than 40 companies, BlueCross employs more than 8,000 South Carolinians in 1,200 different job types.
