Komar Industries, a manufacturer of balers and compactors, plans to establish manufacturing operations in York County, South Carolina. The $11.5 million project is expected to create 160 new jobs.

The investment will include the upfit of an existing building located at 200 Ratchford Road which will grow the company’s manufacturing capabilities in waste and recycling compactor technology. Operations are scheduled to begin in July 2025.

“Komar Industries is pleased to expand our manufacturing network of factories with our first operation within South Carolina. We look forward to becoming an integral part of the York community and an employer of choice in the area,” Komar Industries CEO Mark Koenig said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits. The council also awarded a $150,000 Set-Aside grant to York County to assist with the costs of building improvements.

“South Carolina’s economy continues to grow and thrive, and today’s announcement by Komar Industries is another exciting milestone. The company’s $11.5 million investment will have a substantial impact in York County, and we are proud to support Komar as they relocate and create new opportunities in our state,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
