Shamrock Technologies, Inc., one of the world’s largest processors and developers of specialty natural and synthetic wax additives, plans to invest $19.4 million to establish operations in Gray Court, South Carolina. The project is expected to create 18 jobs.

The facility will primarily manufacture micronized wax, dispersions and emulsions and related products. Operations are expected to be online by early 2023.

“Companies like Shamrock Technologies, Inc. are attracted to South Carolina thanks to our top-notch business environment. I congratulate the company on their new operations and look forward to the impact they will make in the Laurens County community,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III added.
