Precast manufacturer invests $9M in first SC operations in Clinton

After 75 years of operations in North Carolina and Virginia, a Chesapeake, Va.-based precast manufacturer is establishing its first South Carolina operations in Laurens County.

Coastal Precast Systems, manufacturer of precast and prestressed concrete components for bridge and marine infrastructure, is investing about $9 million into a new facility which will create 70 new jobs, according to S.C. Commerce.

“Coastal Precast Systems is proud to establish our first South Carolina operation in Laurens County,” Paul Ogorchock, owner of Coastal Precast Systems, said in the release. “This facility will expand our ability to deliver high-quality precast and prestressed components for bridge and marine infrastructure across the Southeast. We appreciate the partnership of the state of South Carolina and Laurens County, and we look forward to creating skilled manufacturing jobs and becoming an active, long-term member of the community.”

S.C. Commerce said the South Carolina operations will produce precast concrete components for infrastructure, utility and commercial construction projects throughout the Southeast.

The facility will be located at 308 Commerce Ave. in Clinton. The company plans to begin operations in the third quarter of this year, according to the release.

“We would like to welcome Coastal Precast Systems LLC to Clinton and Laurens County. Their products will fill a great need in the supply chain for infrastructure development throughout the Southeast,” Jeff Carroll, Laurens County Council chairman, said in the release. “We wish them much success with their new facility and look forward to a long and prosperous relationship.”
