What is 864

Area code 864 covers Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and the Upstate South Carolina manufacturing corridor.

The Greenville–Spartanburg metro has attracted over $40B in foreign direct investment, making it one of the most internationally invested manufacturing regions in the US.

WHY 864 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 864 number?

01

BMW Spartanburg — the company's largest global plant

BMW's Spartanburg plant produces more vehicles than any other BMW plant worldwide and sources extensively from local suppliers. Automotive component manufacturers, logistics firms, and engineering services need a local 864 number.

02

Michelin North America — Greenville's HQ

Michelin's North American headquarters in Greenville and multiple manufacturing plants in the Upstate region make 864 a premium address for tyre industry suppliers, advanced manufacturing, and engineering firms.

03

$40B in foreign direct investment — the most international corridor

Upstate SC has attracted over $40B in foreign direct investment from BMW, Michelin, Bosch, and hundreds of European and Asian manufacturers. A 864 number signals engagement with this globally-connected manufacturing ecosystem.

04

Furman, Clemson, and the Upstate's growing tech talent base

Furman University in Greenville and Clemson's International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) in Greenville drive engineering and management talent into the Upstate corridor. A local 864 number builds credibility with this community.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 864 number.

Every 864 number includes fourteen professional tools for Upstate South Carolina's advanced manufacturing economy — compliance recording for BMW's and Michelin's supplier quality requirements, multi-line IVR for the automotive supply chain, and analytics for the Greenville–Spartanburg international manufacturing corridor.
