Steel solutions provider Blackhorse Steel Works plans to establish operations in Denmark, South Carolina. The $5.2 million project is expected to create 40 jobs in Bamberg County.

The new 107,000-square-foot facility, located at 19110 Heritage Highway, will be used for the fabrication of miscellaneous and structural steel components. Operations are scheduled to begin in May 2025.

“With our commitment to excellence, customer-focused innovation, precision products, an existing in-state customer base as well as roots in the area, Blackhorse Steel Works chose to locate in Bamberg County, South Carolina, to better serve our customers. We are proud of the jobs we are creating in Denmark, and our investment is a testament to our commitment to growing our business in the coming years. We appreciate the support and the welcome from the local community and the state,” Blackhorse Steel Works Owner Hugh Sharp said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $150,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Bamberg County to assist with the costs of building improvements.

“Today, we celebrate another win for rural South Carolina with Blackhorse Steel Works’ decision to establish operations in Bamberg County. This $5.2 million investment will have a strong impact in the local community, and we look forward to supporting the company as it grows and thrives in our state,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

Blackhorse specializes in steel services tailored for industrial and commercial projects. The company’s capabilities include cutting, welding, bending, forming and precision processing.

“SouthernCarolina Alliance welcomes Blackhorse Steel Works to our region, and we are grateful for the good jobs they will be providing to highly skilled welders and technicians in our area. Every job created by this company represents an opportunity for a better future for a family here. Blackhorse Steel Works will be an asset to Bamberg County and the entire region, and we look forward to continuing to work with them as they start and grow their operations here,” added SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman and CEO Danny Black.
