More than 60 countries offer their own version of the Export-Import Bank, and it is critical that South Carolinas businesses have the same opportunity to compete in the global economy and create jobs, such Zeus of Orangeburg and Aiken, Prysmian of Lexington, AGY of Aiken, Thermal Engineering of Columbia, and Charleston Aluminum of Gaston, Wilson said. This institution is critical to leveling the playing field and allowing South Carolina businesses to remain competitive in an ever growing global economic market creating jobs for South Carolina families. In 2014, the Export-Import Bank supported 164,000 jobs in the United States, and nearly 90 percent of its transactions benefited small businesses. In June, the following businesses and organizations in South Carolina sent a letter to Congress, voicing their support for the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank: AME, Inc.
