Milo’s Tea Company Expands Moore, South Carolina, Production Operations

12/02/2024
Beverage company Milo’s Tea Company, a leading beverage company, plans to expand its operations in Moore, South Carolina. The $53 million project is expected to create 80 jobs.

The investment will include the installment of an additional production line at the company’s existing facility. Operations are scheduled to begin in November 2024.

“Milo’s is a people-first company, so the talented workforce in South Carolina’s Upstate is a significant draw for us. The remarkable people, coupled with ease of access to the East Coast, high-quality water, and the outstanding support of state and local economic development partners, reaffirm that we made the right decision to put down roots in Spartanburg County, South Carolina,” Milo’s Tea Company Chair and CEO Tricia Wallwork said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits. The council also awarded a $250,000 Set-Aside grant to Spartanburg County to assist with the costs of building construction.

“Once again, Milo’s Tea Company is proving South Carolina has the resources for companies to continually grow and succeed. We applaud Milo’s Tea for its latest investment of $53 million in Spartanburg County and look forward to furthering our partnership in the years ahead,” noted Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III.

Milo’s Tea Company is a family-owned, certified Women’s Business Enterprise that manufactures, distributes, markets and sells fresh-brewed teas and all-natural lemonade throughout the U.S.

“Spartanburg County was incredibly excited to welcome Milo’s Tea here, and we’re even more excited to share the news of their expansion – all before their facility is fully up-and-running. This secondary investment in our community lays the groundwork for a long future of success together. I have been so impressed with the team they have already assembled but it should be no surprise because they have an incredible CEO and President, Tricia Wallwork, Spartanburg County Council Vice Chairman and Economic Development Committee Chairman David Britt added.
