Bondex, a leader in technical nonwoven manufacturing, recently announced plans to expand its Edgefield County operations.
The company’s $18.8 million investment will create 13 new jobs, according to a press release from Bondex.
Part of Andrew Industries Limited, Bondex is an innovative nonwovens and specialty roll goods manufacturer founded in 1997.
“At Bondex, we are proud to deepen our roots in Edgefield County with this expansion. This investment is a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation and to the growing demand for our high-quality products,” said Bondex President Brian Little. “Our reputation in the area as a great place to work is something we take seriously, and we’re excited to continue building that legacy by creating new opportunities for growth and employment.”
Little said Bondex looks forward to advancing the company’s capabilities and the local community as further growth occurs in South Carolina.
“The company’s products serve growing demand across various markets, including filtration, automotive, laundry felt and more, for customers globally,” stated a press release from Bondex.
Edgefield County Council Chairman Dean Campbell said the council has worked “tirelessly” to ensure the industry’s success.
“Bondex has had several expansions over the last 10 years. This latest expansion is confirmation that they have been profitable and the county council’s work is bearing fruit,” he said.
The Bondex expansion will include a new needlepunch line and increased production capacity for the company’s facility, located at 2 Maxwell Drive in Trenton, S.C.
“Whenever a company decides to expand within our borders, it is a win for South Carolina. We celebrate Bondex’s investment in Edgefield County and applaud its continued commitment to doing business in our state,” said South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster.
