Berenyi Inc., a South Carolina-based industrial and commercial design- build firm, has completed construction to retrofit Symrise’s current facility in Goose Creek.
The buildout includes a cleanroom environment that accommodates the global manufacturer’s first fully automated filling station in North America, according to a news release.
Construction started in the fall of 2022 after Berenyi completed the design phase of its multi-year contract awarded in 2020 by Symrise, a global food additives and fragrance company with facilities in the Lowcountry, according to the release.
“Quality is paramount in all we do, and we know that it takes state-of-the art facilities, designed for optimal safety and cleanliness to meet our high standards,” said Chacy Richey, vice president supply chain scent and care, North America, Symrise, in the release. “We turned to Berenyi, a long-time Symrise partner, to take this project from concept to completion because their team mirrors our same standards of excellence,” she added.

The new completely automated filling line packages more than 14 different products in a cleanroom environment to ensure the absolute best quality products reach Symrise customers and consumers, the release stated. The filling station is capable of filling 55-gallon drums, pails and IBC containers, and it also palletizes, labels, and straps the finished packaged units once filling is complete. It has two total product lines: one for 55-gallon drums and IBC containers and one for 25-kilogram pails with room to expand to an additional drum filling line in the future.
The system is capable of packaging 40 drums per hour, and up to 240 pails per hour.
“It is incredibly rewarding to have worked on a project that ensures only quality products leave the Port of Charleston for destinations across the globe,” said Jordan Behringer, Berenyi’s managing partner and the lead on the Symrise cleanroom project, in the release. “Our team is honored to have led this project, and we value the relationship we’ve built with Symrise over the years.”
Berenyi’s team of experts served as the project’s lead architect, structural engineer and construction manager. Additional project partners include Bushy Park, Goose Creek, Live Oak Consultants, North Charleston, which performed the MEP engineering, and UltraPure Technologies, based in Suwanee, Ga., which designed the clean room environment that will house the filling equipment.
