Capital Concrete Co., a construction materials supplier, is growing its South Carolina footprint with a new operation in Fairfield County.
The company’s $8.25 million investment will create 17 new jobs, according to a news release from the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
“Capital Concrete Co. is excited to partner with Fairfield County and South Carolina for our continuing expansion plans in the Midlands,” Capital Concrete Co. President Rusty Shealy said in the release. “The site in the Walter Brown Industrial Park is well situated for future growth and will further job creation and investment in the region, and we look forward to being a good corporate citizen in this regard.”
Founded in 2006, Capital Concrete Co. has four existing South Carolina locations providing ready-mix concrete products for all project types, the release stated.
The new plant, located at 355 Commerce Blvd. in Ridgeway, will be the company’s fifth location, giving it closer proximity to serve customers in Fairfield County.
“I am excited that Capital Concrete chose to locate in Fairfield County,” Fairfield County Council Chair Doug Pauley said in the release. “They’ve demonstrated to us that they want to be a good industrial partner in Fairfield County, and I look forward to watching the citizens benefiting from the new jobs created.”
Operations will be online in the third quarter of 2024.
“We enthusiastically celebrate Capital Concrete Co. establishing new operations in Fairfield County and choosing South Carolina as its home for the fifth time,” Central SC Alliance Chairman Matthew Shaffer said in the release.” This is another victory for our extraordinary region.”
