Pratt Industries has announced plans for a new manufacturing facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where it will produce its recycled packaging.
“The partnership established with Pratt Industries as they explored sites and am confident this location in Legacy Park is a great fit to support the needs of their growing business,” Rock Hill Mayor John Gettys says.
“We look forward to welcoming Pratt Industries’ manufacturing service line to our community, creating over 100 well-paying jobs. We stand ready to support them with a quality workforce and reliable utility services.” The Conyers, Georgia-based packaging company is investing $92.5 million in the site at 2087 Williams Industrial Blvd. in Rock Hill, where Pratt also has a recycling facility.
“We are excited to expand our operations in the great state of South Carolina and the mid-Atlantic region,” Pratt Industries Global Executive Chairman Anthony Pratt says. “Our new facility supports our continued commitment to invest in recycling, clean energy infrastructure and American manufacturing jobs.”
South Carolina’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. The council also awarded a $400,000 set-aside grant to York County to assist with the costs of building improvements.
“Pratt Industries’ ongoing success underscores all that can be accomplished with a strong commitment to sustainability and circularity,” Commerce Secretary Harry M. Lightsey III says. “We are proud the company continues growing in South Carolina and congratulate Pratt Industries on its newest manufacturing facility in York County.”
