EuWe Eugen Wexler US Plastics, Inc., a subsidiary of the Germany-based EuWe Group, plans to expand operations in Williamston, South Carolina. The $8.6 million investment will create 16 new jobs in Anderson County.

Located at 171 Alliance Parkway, the expansion will include the acquisition of 13 acres where the company will expand its current production facility. The expansion is expected to be completed by mid-2021.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded Anderson County a $75,000 Set-Aside grant for costs related to the project.
