Safeplast to Open Manufacturing Facility in Pickens, SC

Safeplast NA Company, a manufacturer and provider of hose protectors and hose binding products, is launching a new facility in Pickens, SC. The $4.3 million investment is projected to create 30 new jobs.

“For the past year, Safeplast NA has explored various geographic locations to build a new facility, searching both in Canada and the United States,” said Jerry Pawluk, Safeplast NA Company, Ltd. President and Diana Pawluk, Vice President of Sales and Customer Relations. “Thanks to the expert developmental planning of Alliance Pickens and the warm personal reception from the South Carolina community, it became clear that Pickens County Commerce Park was the perfect choice for the future growth of Safeplast. Safeplast now has a tremendous platform for our continued growth while cultivating new business relationships and opportunities.”

Affiliated with Safeplast Finland, Safeplast NA began manufacturing and distributing its signature Safeplast Spirals in 2007. Designed to protect hydraulic hoses from abrasion that can lead to premature equipment failure, the company’s state-of-the-art products are generated through a unique manufacturing process with technology only available in two places worldwide – Finland and this new facility in Pickens County, S.C.

Located in Pickens County Commerce Park, Safeplast will be constructing a new 30,000-square-foot facility that will function as the company’s North American headquarters. Hiring for the new positions should begin in the first quarter of 2018, and interested applicants should contact info@safeplast.com (link sends e-mail) for more information.
