Barnwell Tissue Solutions, part of the ST Group of Companies, plans to establish operations in Barnwell, South Carolina. The $12 million project is expected to create 50 jobs.

The investment will include the purchase of an existing tissue mill which will manufacture large paper rolls from recycled paper, which will be converted into away-from-home tissue products. Production is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025.

“Barnwell Tissue Solutions, a proud member of the ST Group of companies, is honored to expand our manufacturing footprint into Barnwell, South Carolina. This acquisition reflects our commitment to investing in rural American communities and creating high-quality manufacturing jobs – particularly for local residents. We are excited to partner with the community to build a skilled workforce and generate long-term economic opportunity. We extend our sincere thanks to the visionary leaders at both the state and county levels whose support made this project possible. Together, we look forward to shaping a vibrant future for Barnwell County,” said Barnwell Tissue Solutions Owner Sahil Tak.

To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits.

“Today’s announcement is another indication that companies continue recognizing the benefits of doing business in our state. We are excited to welcome Barnwell Tissue Solutions to one of our state’s rural communities and look forward to the positive impact it will make in Barnwell County and beyond,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.

Barnwell Tissue Solutions, part of the ST Group, is a large parent roll marketer, supplying converters in the away-from-home tissue industry.

“SouthernCarolina Alliance welcomes Barnwell Tissue Solutions to our diverse array of manufacturers in the region. We appreciate the good direct jobs and investment this operation will bring to the region, as well as the opportunities it will provide in indirect jobs and economic stimulation in Barnwell County and the surrounding area,” added SouthernCarolina Alliance President and CEO Danny Black.
