High-performance packaging manufacturer CurTec USA plans to expand its operations in Westminster, South Carolina. The $10 million project is expected to create ten jobs.

The investment at the company’s existing facilities will increase manufacturing and storage capacity for plastic drums and pails used in pharmaceutical markets.

“When we opened our Westminster facility in 2023, our goal was to bring production closer to our North American customers and build a platform for long-term growth. This expansion is the next step. By increasing local production, capacity and inventory, we can strengthen supply reliability, broaden the range we manufacture in the United States and continue growing our team and operations in South Carolina,” said CurTec CEO Bart van Berkel.

CurTec manufactures high-performance plastic drums, pails and jars designed for the safe handling and storage of materials used in the life sciences and fine chemicals industries.

“Congratulations to CurTec on its expansion in the Upstate. With South Carolina’s continued growth in the life sciences industry, we are excited to see this investment come to fruition,” noted South Carolina Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

“It is another ‘Top Shelf for Business’ day in Oconee County with CurTec’s decision to invest and create additional jobs at their Westminster manufacturing facility. Just three years after opening the facility, the project reflects CurTecs confidence in our excellent workforce and strong business climate. CurTec is an outstanding company and we greatly value our partnership with them. Oconee County is pleased to support this expansion and looks forward to seeing the company continue to grow in our community,” added Oconee Economic Alliance President and CEO Jamie Gilbert.
