COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A company that makes turbochargers for diesel engines is expanding its operations in Charleston County.
 
Cummins Turbo Technologies said Monday it is investing $19.5 million and expects to create 76 new jobs at its Ladson facility.
 
The Columbus, Ind.-based company says it is building a 125,000-square-foot warehouse and adding another 10,000 square feet of office space to an existing building.
 
Cummins Turbo Technologies opened its first Charleston-area manufacturing plant in 1989 and operated under the name Holset Engineering until 2006.
 
Officials expect the current expansion will be done by the end of this year.
