11/27/2025
Baxter Manufacturing, a full-service supplier for the plastics industry, plans to expand its operations in Westminster, South Carolina. The $15.7 million project is expected to create 36 jobs in Oconee County.

The investment will include an additional 35,000 square feet and new machinery at the company’s existing facility located at 1000 Innovation Way which will increase production capabilities and further meet the needs of its automotive customers.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our operations in Oconee County for a second time in less than eight years, a testament to the quality workforce and pro-business environment we have found here. This expansion is a key part of our strategic vision, allowing us to better meet our customer demands and position ourselves for future growth. We deeply value the dedicated team members who have contributed to our success over the years and look forward to a bright future in the community,” Baxter Manufacturing President Bill Clark said.

Baxter Manufacturing provides a comprehensive range of services from concept to production, including design, engineering, prototyping, injection molding, and assembly. The company serves clients in various sectors, including the automotive industry.

“We are excited to see another manufacturing company strengthening its legacy in South Carolina. Baxter Manufacturing’s $15.7 million expansion in Oconee County is further proof that businesses are finding lasting success in our state, and we congratulate the company on this exciting announcement,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

“It’s another ‘Top Shelf for Business’ day in Oconee County with Baxter Manufacturing’s expansion of their Westminster facility. Oconee County and Baxter have enjoyed a tremendous partnership since they established their facility here in 2017. They were the first manufacturer to locate to the Oconee Industry and Technology Park and have greatly exceeded their original expectations for the operation. Baxter’s growth in Oconee is reflective of the company’s strength, as well as Oconee’s excellent workforce and business climate. We appreciate Baxter’s commitment to our community and congratulate them on this exciting news,” added Oconee Economic Alliance President and CEO Jamie Gilbert.
