The state and county’s positive business climate combined with an excellent workforce have helped make this investment possible,” Silgan Plant Manager John Wilbert said.
“It’s always exciting to see one of our existing businesses prosper and grow. We celebrate Silgan Containers’ decision to increase its footprint in South Carolina and create 16 new jobs. We are committed to fostering our state’s business-friendly climate so that we’ll continue to see job-creating investments like this one,” noted Governor Henry McMaster.
