Area Development
Argents Air Express, Ltd., a full-service logistics solutions company, plans to expand operations in North Charleston, South Carolina. The $400,000 investment will create 35 new jobs.

The expansion will increase the company’s fulfillment and distribution capabilities to service clients in the Southeast. The expansion is expected to be completed this fall.

“With our family being in the Lowcountry for over 25 years, we couldn’t be more excited about our expansion in the Charleston area. The continued growth of the port and access to an ever-growing pool of talent, we are confident that this facility is the perfect place to expand our full suite of logistics offerings. With the addition of this facility, our nationwide footprint will expand to over 350,000 square feet,” said Argents Air Express, Ltd. Co-Owner Tony Chiappetta.

Founded in 1977, Argents provides a full suite of import, export and domestic freight services. The company’s fulfillment and distribution teams assist in shipping thousands of orders every day to both retailers and consumers.

"When companies like Argents are able to build on their success in South Carolina, it showcases the strength of our business-friendly environment and talented workforce. We couldn't be happier for this company and their growth in Charleston County,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III added.
