Rock Hill, South Carolina, Sep. 17, 2007 -
3D Systems Corporation (NASDAQ: TDSC), a leading provider of 3-D Modeling, Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing solutions, announced that Abe Reichental, president and CEO of 3D Systems, was honored today for his contributions in promoting economic growth in the county and state by South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.
Reichental was named York County’s Economic Development Ambassador of the Year by the South Carolina Department of Commerce, an honor awarded to private sector executives who are exceptional contributors to community and state development. Today’s recognition at the Governor’s Mansion in Columbia, S.C., kicks off South Carolina Industry Appreciation Week.
“We’re focused on building a more business-friendly climate in South Carolina and momentum is building with the arrival of leading global companies like 3D Systems,” Governor Sanford said. “We’re glad to have this opportunity to thank Abe and 3D Systems as well as the other companies and industries that help us create and keep jobs and capital investment in this great state.”
The honor for Reichental comes nearly a year after 3D Systems consolidated its headquarters, operations and research and development activities into a new, state-of-the-art, global facility in Rock Hill, S.C. Since deciding to move, Reichental has assisted York County economic development officials in recruitment efforts with other companies, including meeting with prospects to share positive information about York County and South Carolina. Reichental also accepted a position as a member of the Rock Hill Economic Development Corp.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by the Governor and the State of South Carolina,” Reichental said. “Commitment and passion for economic development helps create a better life for all South Carolinians. It’s the responsibility of every citizen and business to promote economic growth.”
