The company’s first South Carolina facility will create 217 jobs in Honea Path, according to the Office of the Governor.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Adeptus USA will establish its first South Carolina operation in Anderson County with a $215.56 million investment expected to create 217 jobs, according to the Office of the Governor.
The wood products manufacturer will locate its new facility at 1205 Hamby Road in Honea Path. The plant will produce value-added and processed pine wood products, including painted and primed moulding, boards, shiplap and panel products for building and millwork uses, according to the governor’s office.
Operations are expected to start in the second quarter of 2027. HTI will assist with hiring during the startup phase, and openings will be posted at htijobs.com/adeptus as they become available, according to the release.
The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits for the project and awarded Anderson County an $850,000 Closing Fund grant to help cover building improvement costs, according to the governor’s office.
“The tremendous commitment shown by the state of South Carolina, Anderson County and the local forestry community made it clear that this is the right place for Adeptus to invest and grow,” said Adeptus USA CEO Billy White. He also credited Atlantic Union Bank, Venturus — a division of Heritage Bank, USDA Rural Development and Capital Resource Advisors for their support in the project.
“Adeptus’ $215.56 million investment will bring new jobs and opportunity to Anderson County,” Gov. Henry McMaster said. “The company’s decision to invest in South Carolina is a testament to the strength of our workforce and the quality of our manufacturing capabilities.”
Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III said the project supports the state’s growing wood products industry and workforce. State Forester Scott Phillips said the announcement reflects the state’s sustainable forest resources.
Anderson County Councilman Greg Elgin noted the project revives a closed facility. “A more than $200 million investment and more than 200 new jobs represent a tremendous opportunity for our residents,” he said.
