05/26/2022
Winglts, a specialty designer and manufacturer of bathroom accessories, fastening systems and Americans with Disabilities (ADA)-compliant products, announced plans to establish operations in Andrews, South Carolina. The $7.4 million project is expected to create more than 40 jobs in Georgetown County.

Located at 259 Technology Drive the facility will serve as the company’s primary distribution, fulfillment and final assembly operation for North America. Winglts also has future plans to move the manufacturing of its newest innovation, patented structural solid surface bathroom accessories and shelves, to this new location. Operations are expected to begin in August 2022.

“WingIts is excited to call the Palmetto State, the town of Andrews and Georgetown County home to our new 50,000-square-foot North American distribution center. The Georgetown County Economic Development and the S.C. Department of Commerce teams helped make this property acquisition a smart move and easy business decision for us as we continue our successful journey and expansion. We look forward to joining the state and the local community and to many years of success in South Carolina,” said WingIts President Tom Murphy.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Georgetown County as an incentive to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.

“Congratulations to WingIts on their new operations in Georgetown County. This great company is a leader in their field, and we are excited to have them join our impressive roster of manufacturing companies in South Carolina, addedSecretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.
