11/25/2024
The investment will include the construction of a new 300,000-square-foot distribution facility located at 601 Bob Gifford Blvd. Operations are scheduled to begin in March 2026.
“We are excited to break ground on this new distribution facility, which will not only enhance our operations but also create meaningful job opportunities for Hampton County. This initiative underscores our unwavering commitment to the community and its residents while fostering economic opportunities in the region,” Le Creuset of America CEO Gregory C. Cairo said.
To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $200,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Hampton County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
“Le Creuset’s decision to build upon its longstanding legacy in South Carolina is truly something worth celebrating. Le Creuset is a valuable part of the Hampton County community, and we congratulate the company on this exciting announcement,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
Le Creuset manufactures and distributes premium, enameled cast-iron cookware, as well as stainless steel, stoneware and other kitchenware for customers around the globe.
“We are proud to have the U.S. distribution headquarters of Le Creuset, the premier manufacturer of gourmet cookware, located in our region for almost 50 years. Today we celebrate their continued growth with the new 300,000-square-foot facility and the resulting job creation in Hampton County. We look forward to working with Le Creuset for decades to come,” SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman Marty Sauls added.
