Gov. Henry McMaster’s office late last month announced that a full-service logistics solutions company will expand its operations in Charleston County.

A Sept. 30 press release issued by the governor's office said that Argents Air Express, Ltd.’s $400,000 investment will generate 35 new jobs.

McMaster said in the release that it’s a positive when a company chooses to conduct business in the Palmetto State.

"It is a testament to our growing business community when a company chooses to grow its footprint in our state,” McMaster said in the release. “We congratulate Argents on their decision to expand and create 35 more jobs in Charleston County, and we look forward to their continued growth.”

Founded in 1977, Argents, which is located at 9015 Sightline Drive in North Charleston, will increase the company’s fulfillment and distribution capabilities to service clients in the Southeast with its expansion.

“With our family being in the Lowcountry for over 25 years, we couldn’t be more excited about our expansion in the Charleston area,” Argents Air Express, Ltd. Co-Owner Tony Chiappetta said in the governor's office release. “The continued growth of the port and access to an ever-growing pool of talent, we are confident that this facility is the perfect place to expand our full suite of logistics offerings. With the addition of this facility, our nationwide footprint will expand to over 350,000 square feet.
