Eastern Engineered Wood Products Plans Belton, South Carolina, Distribution Operations

02/20/2025
Eastern Engineered Wood Products, a wholesale distributor of engineered wood products, plans to establish operations in Belton, South Carolina. The $18.7 million project is expected to create 31 jobs in Anderson County.

The new distribution facility, located at 110 Milliken Drive, will service lumber dealers and component manufacturers in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee. Operations are scheduled to begin later this year.

“Establishing this new location in Anderson County, South Carolina is an exciting next step in our growth and expansion strategy. We have long recognized the need for our products and services in the Southeast, and the Upstate of South Carolina is the ideal area from which to support that need. Support from the state and local authorities has been tremendous, and we look forward to working together as we grow our operation,” Eastern Engineered Wood Products President Todd Lindsey said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $100,000 Set-Aside grant to Anderson County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.

“South Carolina’s premier location makes it the perfect place for distribution companies to move products efficiently to customers. Congratulations to Eastern Engineered Wood Products and Anderson County on this announcement and 31 new jobs it will bring to the Upstate. We are proud to welcome Eastern to our business community," noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

Eastern supplies engineered wood products to building materials dealers and lumber yards across the East Coast. The company also provides technical support to customers including product placement drawings, product specification assistance and sales education.
