Global packaging company to expand in the Upstate

A global packaging company is expanding in the Upstate.

Aran USA, an international manufacturer of sustainable liquid packaging solutions, is investing $4 million to expand its Greer, doubling production capacity and creating 18 new jobs over the next two years, according to a news release

Aran USA has begun construction to expand its facility at 1704 Poplar Drive Extension. The expansion will add approximately 16,000 square feet and enable Aran USA to double its production lines and capacity as the business responds to growing demand for sustainable packaging in the food and beverage sector, the release stated.

“The quality and stability of the workforce in Greer, South Carolina gives Aran USA the confidence that this location is where we want to be long-term as our U.S. presence,” said Kevin LeCompte, Aran USA’s general manager, said in the release. “This expansion represents our commitment to serving our customers with innovative packaging solutions while contributing to the economic vitality of the Upstate.”

Aran USA opened the Greer facility in 2016. The site specializes in producing aseptic liquid packaging and bag-in-box solutions with applications including wine, sauces, dairy alternatives, and fruit concentrates.

“To attract world-class companies like Aran Group to the City of Greer, we have deliberately planned and invested in talent attraction and placemaking initiatives,” said Greer Mayor Rick Danner. “From the revitalization of our downtown streetscape to the ForGreer initiative and the truly game-changing Greer Sports & Events Center, today’s announcement proves public investment in building a more vibrant community yields significant returns from business and industry in the form of quality new jobs.”

Greenville County Council Chairman Benton Blount said he’s pleased to commend Aran’s continued growth.

“Since the company’s initial announcement and investment in 2015, Aran has become an integral part of our industrial community,” Blount said in the release. “Businesses like Aran strengthen our local economy, promote long-term stability, and contribute valuable revenue that supports essential public services.”

Aran USA’s parent company, Aran Group, is headquartered in Israel and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2025, operating production facilities across three continents.

The project is expected to be completed in July 2026.
