08/14/2024
US Brick, a manufacturer and direct supplier of residential and commercial brick, plans to expand its operations in Columbia, South Carolina. The $5.5 million project is expected to create 33 jobs in Richland County.

The company will modernize its existing facility, located at 9931 Two Notch Road, with a secondary kiln and manufacturing line, doubling production capacity. Operations are scheduled to begin by the end of 2025.

“We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to expand our operations in Richland County and consider this a significant milestone for US Brick. As we phase in operations to be fully online in 2025, we remain committed to supporting our local community and are excited to build a brighter future together with the people of South Carolina,” US Brick Columbia President Robert E. Coker said.

US Brick has the capacity to produce 350 million bricks annually across its manufacturing facilities in South Carolina, Alabama, Indiana and Tennessee.

“With an 85-year legacy in South Carolina, US Brick serves as a prime example that companies can start, grow and thrive in South Carolina. We applaud the company’s commitment to our state and look forward to offering continued support throughout its business life cycle,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
