ANDERSON, S.C. — Carolina Structural Systems, a manufacturer of structural wood component systems, will open its first South Carolina operation in Anderson County. Operations will be online by the end of this year, and the $4.7 million investment will create 60 new jobs.

Carolina Structural Systems provides fabricated wood components and engineered wood products for single and multi-family homes, and light commercial projects. The North Carolina-based company said it purchased and is expanding a 30,000-square-foot facility in Anderson, South Carolina in order to better serve the upstate South Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia markets. The family-owned company opened its first facility in Star, North Carolina in 2016.

“We are proud of our growth and expansion and particularly proud to have decided to make this expansion in the Upstate. The stable construction industry and healthy workforce have us very excited to be part of this beautiful area. Everyone in South Carolina and, specifically, Anderson has made this decision easy for us,” said David Green, general manager at Carolina Structural Systems.

“With its strong manufacturing reputation, South Carolina is the ideal place for Carolina Structural Systems to establish its new operations. We congratulate them on opening this new facility and look forward to a long and fruitful partnership,” South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said.
