Quality Assurance Intern in Winnsboro, South Carolina at Element Electronics

Element started in 2007 with a simple belief - every home should have access to TVs with the latest technology. After a few years, we decided to do more; in 2014, we opened our factory in Winnsboro, South Carolina, making Element the only major television company assembling TVs in the United States. The benefits for our customers quickly followed, including higher quality products, better customer service and fewer store returns. Our South Carolina team provides meticulous hand-assembly and quality checks, resulting in TVs that we are proud to sell to our friends, neighbors and families. Today, we continue to push ourselves and have expanded our product range of electronics and home appliances while providing customers with the latest technology, but at the most accessible prices. We have offices in South Carolina, Minnesota and Arkansas, and are continuing to grow our impact in our communities and industry. You can find Element products at your favorite retailers, including Walmart, BrandsMart, MicroCenter, Costco, Meijer, P.C. Richard & Son, Sams Club and more.
