Nordson investing $30M in South Carolina facility
Nordson Industrial Coating Systems is establishing their newest manufacturing facility in South Carolina, a state that's been on the receiving end of a few industrial investments recently.
With an investment of $30 million and the creation of 125 new production, machining, engineering and management jobs, the facility will be located at 19375 Highway 72 E. in Clinton, which is in Laurens County, S.C., according to a news release cited by the Columbia (SC) Business Report.
The Nordson ICS division was founded in 1954 to produce and market airless spray equipment. Today, manufacturers use ICS equipment for the precise application and curing of powder coatings, liquid paint, ambient temperature adhesives and sealants, and food and beverage container production, the news release stated. Nordson customers use their equipment to prevent corrosion by applying powder coating to hub caps, dishwashers, soda cans and more.
The company expects its 225,000-square-foot facility will be ready to begin operations by the end of the year, the Columbia Business Report said.
“We are very excited to be part of South Carolina’s upstate manufacturing sector,” Nordson ICS Vice President David Titone said in the release. “It has been a pleasure working with the state of South Carolina, Laurens County, and the city of Clinton on our new facility. We would like to thank them for their outstanding support and look forward to their continuing partnership for years to come.”
