The investment will include the lease and upfit of an existing facility located at 8463 Highway 28/221. Operations are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
“Establishing our first North American facility in McCormick County marks an exciting milestone for Mikro-Technik. This investment allows us to better serve our customers across the American continent, while also contributing to the local economy. We are grateful for the support we've received at the state and local levels and look forward to growing our operations in South Carolina, “Mikro-Technik GmbH & Co. KG CEO K. Weingarten said.
To support the project the Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $350,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to McCormick County to assist with the costs of building improvements.
“South Carolina has the resources in place to attract companies from across the globe, and today’s announcement is further proof. We are grateful for Mikro-Technik's investment in McCormick County and look forward to many years of success,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
Mikro-Technik specializes in the processing of cellulose fiber into additives for the food and pet food industries. The company’s fibers are a renewable raw material used as a functional ingredient in food applications.
“Mikro-Technik’s decision to choose McCormick County for its first North American operation is a testament to the vision and leadership of the McCormick County Council. Their foresight in investing in a speculative building made this opportunity possible, and we’re proud to see that commitment paying off with high-quality jobs and international investment,” Western SC Economic Development Partnership Board Chairman Gary Stooksbury added.
