Douglas Machine Shop Inc., a custom metal fabricator, plans to invest more than $2.5 million to expand its current operations in Mount Croghan, South Carolina.

Located at 23630 state Highway 9, Douglas Machine Shop, Inc.'s expansion will add 8,000 square feet to the company's existing building to increase manufacturing capabilities. The expansion is expected to be completed by mid-March.

In addition, the company is also a retailer of hydraulic hoses and fittings; industrial supplies; and stainless steel, aluminum and carbon steel.

"The expansion of Douglas Machine Shop, Inc. has us ecstatic. We've expanded a few times, but we're not only adding square footage, but we also have a five-year plan to broaden the output of services and products.
