Palmetto Plastics Innovations Plans Hardeeville, South Carolina, Manufacturing Operations

04/11/2025
Plastic extrusion manufacturer Palmetto Plastics Innovations plans to establish manufacturing operations in Jasper County, South Carolina. The project is expected to create 28 jobs.

The new 30,000-square-foot thermoforming facility will be located at 402 Marble Road in Hardeeville. Operations are scheduled to begin in June 2025.

"We are proud about establishing our new operations in Jasper County, a move that reflects our commitment to innovation and growth in the plastic extrusion industry. This investment in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility not only underscores our dedication to providing essential components for critical infrastructure but also demonstrates our commitment to the local community. At Palmetto Plastics Innovations, we are eager to contribute to the economic development of the area and establish a long and fruitful relationship with Jasper County and its residents,” Palmetto Plastics Innovations Chairman Mark A. Gaeta said.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits. The council also awarded a $100,000 Set-Aside grant to Jasper County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.

“Today’s announcement by Palmetto Plastics Innovations is a testament to the strength and continual growth of our state’s manufacturing industry. We celebrate Palmetto Plastics’ decision to establish operations in Jasper County and look forward to working with the company as it launches its South Carolina legacy,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

Palmetto Plastics manufactures fill and drift eliminators for the cooling tower industry. The company’s products are for systems used in power plants, manufacturing facilities, universities and hospitals.

“SouthernCarolina Alliance welcomes Palmetto Plastics Innovations into our family of industrial manufacturers throughout the region, as their company will be an asset to our industrial community, providing good jobs for our residents and opportunities for small businesses and service providers. Their choice of Jasper County speaks to the strength of our local workforce and business climate, and we look forward to working with them for years to come,” added SouthernCarolina Alliance Chairman Marty Sauls.
