Samuel Packaging Systems Group, a division of Samuel, Son & Co. Inc., plans to invest $11.5 million to expand operations in Fort Mill, South Carolina. The project is expected to create 90 jobs.

Located at 2000 Boyer Road, the expansion will upgrade existing production lines and will include the purchase of a new PET strand line. The current facility was opened in 1996 and is approximately 203,300 square feet. Work is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2023.

“Samuel arrived in York County in 1996 with two production lines and 25 new jobs. With the support of York County, we have grown to four production lines and over 90 jobs, and additional jobs when the fifth line arrives. Samuel is a global provider of plastic strapping and invests where we have success. The support of York County is a great example of a partnership that creates success,” said Samuel Packaging Systems Group President Cy Slifka.

Samuel Packaging Systems Group is a complete, single-source supplier for clients’ packaging and unitizing needs. The company specializes in polyester strapping, a lower cost and more durable alternative to steel strap.

“When an existing company in South Carolina expands, it further solidifies our state’s reputation of having a superior business climate. Today, we celebrate Samuel Packaging Systems Group’s growth in York County, and we look forward to their success for many years to come,” said Governor Henry McMaster.
