American Scrappers Establishing Operation in Dillon, SC
American Scrappers is establishing operations in Dillon County with the launch of a new distribution and logistics center. The company’s $15.5 million investment is expected to create 200 new jobs.
“Dillon County really does have it all: available buildings, infrastructure, talented workforce, an inland port, great logistics and a business-friendly environment. For our team, the decision to locate in Lake View and in Dillon County was an easy one and we look forward to growing in this community for many years to come,” said American Scrappers President Otis Neal.
With this project, American Scrappers is establishing a distribution center, container storage, logistics operations and a hydroponic facility at 611 Heritage Drive in Lake View, S.C., allowing the company to serve the east coast of North America. With a successful history in logistics and business development, American Scrappers will be conducting its hydroponics operations under the name East Nile Farms.
Hiring for the new positions is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2017, and interested applicants should contact TheEastNileLLC@gmail.com
