Pratt Industries has confirmed plans to invest $92.5m in a new manufacturing facility in Rock Hill, SC. The new facility will produce the company’s recycled packaging and is expected to create 116 new jobs.
“I’m grateful for 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,” said Mayor John Gettys, Rock Hill. “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.”
“We are excited to expand our operations in the great state of South Carolina and the mid-Atlantic region,” said Anthony Pratt, Pratt Industries Global Executive Chairman. “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,” said Harry M. Lightsey III, Commerce Secretary. “We are proud the company continues growing in South Carolina and congratulate Pratt Industries on its newest manufacturing facility in York County.”
