Dutch-Based Maars North America Plans Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Production Operations

11/01/2025
Maars North America, a company specializing in architectural wall solutions, plans to establish production operations in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The $3 million project is expected to create more than ten jobs in Charleston County.

The company’s new fabrication facility, located at 437 Interlock Alley, will allow it to streamline distribution across North America. Operations are scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2026.

“This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to supporting high-growth market segments and delivering excellence on key projects. We are bringing the same standards of manufacturing excellence, process discipline and quality that have defined Maars for over 80 years,” Maars North America Vice President Ricardo Costa said.

“Maars North America selecting South Carolina for its newest operation is another victory for our state’s business community. We are confident Charleston County will be an ideal location for Maars’ new fabrication plant and congratulate the company on this $3 million investment,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

Maars offers premium, customizable modular wall systems for commercial interiors including offices, hospitals, airports and universities. The company is active in more than 50 countries and supplies to a worldwide network of dealers.

“Maars North America’s expansion into Charleston County speaks to the strength of our business climate and the talented people who call this region home. We’re thrilled to see a company with such a strong global reputation for design and innovation join our community and contribute to our growing advanced manufacturing ecosystem,” added Charleston Regional Development Alliance Board Chair William Russell.

“Attracting such a leading manufacturer confirms that Charleston County is a prime location for international businesses looking to grow and succeed in the North American market,” said Charleston County Economic Development Executive Director Merle Johnson. “Our favorable business climate, access to a superb local labor force, and the superior logistics planning for distribution across the continent make us an essential strategic gateway for global expansion.”
