AMAROK Plans Columbia, South Carolina, Headquarters Operations

04/02/2026
Security solutions provider AMAROK plans to expand its operations in Columbia, South Carolina. The $69 million project is expected to create 296 jobs in Richland County.

The company’s new 125,000-square-foot headquarters facility will be located in the BullStreet District at the corner of Freed Street and Boyce Street.

“Over the past eight years, AMAROK has experienced tremendous growth. As a result, it became clear that it was time to identify a new location for our national headquarters, one that could also serve as a long-term home for more than 500 employees that we will have in the Palmetto State,” said Mark Wesley, CEO of AMAROK. “We couldn’t ask for a better partner than South Carolina, and we look forward to continuing to build on our culture of family, teamwork and shared purpose.”

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits and awarded a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Richland County to assist with site preparation and building construction.

“As companies grow and succeed in South Carolina, so does our pro-business reputation,” noted Harry M. Lightsey III, Secretary of Commerce for South Carolina. “The addition of 296 jobs will create opportunities in Richland County and further establish our region as a leading location for corporate headquarters.”

AMAROK provides integrated perimeter security solutions, including electric fencing, video surveillance, monitoring, access control, and lighting systems. The company serves customers nationwide across a range of commercial and industrial sectors.

“Richland County is home to a growing number of companies that continue to expand here,” added Jesica Mackey, Chairwoman of Richland County Council and Co-Chair of the Columbia Area Development Partnership. “AMAROK is a strong example of a local company that has grown nationally, and we look forward to its continued success.”
