Shamrock Technologies, Inc., a company focused on specialty additives, plans to expand its operations in Laurens County, South Carolina. The $39.6 million project is expected to create 57 jobs.

The company’s new corporate headquarters, located at 101 Connexial Blvd. in Gray Court, will include offices, research and development labs, a pilot plant, and warehouse and production space. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2030.

“Shamrock Technologies is proud to continue investing in our South Carolina operations as we build the future home of our company. For 85 years, our growth has been driven by strong partnerships and a commitment to people, and we look forward to deepening those ties as we expand in Gray Court. We appreciate the support of South Carolina and Laurens County leaders, whose commitment to business and community makes this next chapter possible,” Shamrock Technologies, Inc. CEO Michael Kellen said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.

“With an investment of $39.6 million, Shamrock’s expansion in Laurens County demonstrates the advantages that South Carolina offers to growing businesses. The company’s new headquarters, alongside its expanded manufacturing capabilities and production facilities, will support economic development in South Carolina," Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

Shamrock produces and distributes micronized wax and other specialty additives used in coatings, inks, greases and lubricants. The company serves industries including paints and coatings, printing inks, plastics, and industrial applications.
