“Pratrivero USA is looking forward to being part of the Orangeburg County industrial family. We are very excited about this new investment and feel by choosing such a great location and working with the wonderful people in this community, we will succeed.

Pratrivero USA is working with readySC to support future recruitment.

Congratulations to Pratrivero USA and the positive impact they are making in the Orangeburg community,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III said.
