Poland-Based JGB Brothers Plans Bamberg County, South Carolina, Production Operations

Area Development News Desk

01/23/2026

Food fibers manufacturer JGB Brothers plans to establish operations in Bamberg County, South Carolina. The $7 million project is expected to create 40 jobs.

The company’s new facility, located at 66 Innovation Drive, will be used to produce plant-sourced food fibers. Operations are scheduled to begin in late 2026.

“The InterFiber Group proudly announces a groundbreaking milestone — the acquisition of a brand-new manufacturing site in Bamberg, South Carolina. Under this momentous project, we will eventually invest a total of over $36 million covering the acquisition and outfitting of this new facility. The new state-of-the-art plant will feature fully robotic production lines, setting new standards for automation, precision and efficiency in food fiber manufacturing. Alongside the plant, we are also planning to establish a modern R&D and Application Center that will serve as a springboard for developing next-generation solutions for the food and pet food industries. This investment is part of InterFiber’s strategy to expand our global manufacturing capability. The brand-new facility is expected to generate a substantial number of jobs and production will utilize locally sourced agricultural raw materials. Completion is anticipated in 2026, InterFiber President Jacek Bednarek said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Bamberg County to assist with the costs of building improvements.

“We are proud to welcome JGB Brothers to South Carolina. By investing more than $7 million in its Bamberg County facility, the company will support two of our state’s key industries, manufacturing and agriculture,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

JGB Brothers is a subsidiary of Poland-based InterFiber, a manufacturer specializing in natural-origin plant fibers for the food and pet food industries.

“We are excited to welcome JGB Brothers to the Southern Carolina region and congratulate Bamberg County on this significant economic development win. JGB Brothers' choice of location in the CrossRhodes spec building and $7 million investment along with the creation of 40 new jobs highlight the strength of our workforce and the value of regional collaboration. Congratulations to Bamberg County and to the SCA team on another job well done,” added SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman Steve Murdaugh.
