Advanced composite materials and structures manufacturer United Composite Materials plans to establish operations in Greer, South Carolina. The $17.5 million project is expected to create 50 jobs in Greenville County.

The company's two new manufacturing facilities, located at 1446 S. Buncombe Road, will supply the sports and leisure composite markets. Operations are scheduled to begin in July 2026.

“We are excited to establish our first South Carolina manufacturing facility in Greenville County.
