Zeus Industrial Products is expanding its existing operations in Aiken County and creating 51 new jobs, according to a press release issued Thursday by S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.
The company’s $15.7 million investment in Aiken County complements a $15.9 million expansion in Orangeburg County and $76 million expansion in Calhoun County, both of which were announced over the last several weeks.
“We are truly excited about expanding our manufacturing presence in Aiken,” said Zeus President and CEO John Winarchick. “We have been pleased with the community support that we have received since commencing our Aiken operations in 1999. We remain committed to being a good citizen of the County, meeting and exceeding the needs of our customers, and most importantly, providing quality careers for all of our employees in an atmosphere that will allow them to flourish.”
Founded in 1966, Zeus develops and manufacturers polymer tubing for a variety of industries, including the medical, fluid-handling and electrical markets.
“Today, we celebrate the partnership that exists between Zeus and the Palmetto State,” McMaster said. “I’m thrilled to congratulate this terrific company on their decision to expand operations in three counties, proof positive that South Carolina has a business-friendly climate statewide.”
The Zeus plant in Aiken is at 9150 Levels Church Road.
The company plans to convert its warehousing operations and floor space there to manufacturing space in order to increase production of existing products by installing additional manufacturing lines.
The plant will also be increasing its product portfolio as several new products and new manufacturing processes are introduced over the next few years.
The initial hiring for these new positions has already begun and will continue into 2019.
