Fine Organic Industries Limited, a manufacturer of specialty additives, has announced its decision to establish its first U.S. manufacturing facility in Union County, South Carolina. This investment is expected to create 60 new jobs.
The company, which originated in India, is known for producing bio-based specialty ingredients and additives from vegetable oils and oleochemicals. These products are used across various industries including food, plastics, personal care products, animal nutrition, inks, and coatings. Fine Organics already operates manufacturing facilities in India, Malaysia, and Thailand and maintains sales offices in the U.S. and Europe.
The new facility will be constructed at 1907 Spartanburg Highway in Jonesville and is anticipated to begin operations by 2027. Job seekers interested in joining the company can find more information on their careers page.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits for this project. Additionally, a $850,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant was awarded to Union County to aid with site preparation and building construction costs.
“Establishing our first facility in Union County marks a significant milestone in our journey to better serve our customers across the United States,” said Mukesh Shah, Chairman of Fine Organic Industries Limited. “This strategic expansion not only strengthens supply security but also elevates the level of service for our U.S. customers.”
Governor Henry McMaster expressed his support: “We are proud to welcome Fine Organics to South Carolina and into our world-class manufacturing industry.”
Harry M. Lightsey III, Secretary of Commerce added: “South Carolina has an impressive reputation for attracting foreign direct investment.”
Union County Supervisor Phillip Russell stated: “Union County is honored to welcome Fine Organics and proud to be the site of their first U.S. manufacturing facility.”
