Coastal Corrugated Inc. Announces Expansion

Coastal Corrugated Inc., a packaging manufacturer in Dorchester County near North Charleston, will expand its current operations. 

The $1.5 million investment is expected to generate 26 new jobs.

“We are excited about the opportunity to expand our business footprint in the Lowcountry. South Carolina has continually provided our company with a positive business environment and talented workers. This new expansion is an important step for our company as we move forward,” Coastal Corrugated Inc. CEO Jim Bozard said Monday in a press release.

Coastal Corrugated will add an additional 40,000 square feet to the company’s Dorchester County facility. The company has secured a contract with Robert Bosch in Charleston to produce packaging for specialized manufactured parts for “just-in-time” delivery. The company expects to have the expansion completed by December of this year.

“The decision for Coastal Corrugated to expand their operations is not only a sign of strength for the organization as a whole, but is also further proof that Dorchester County has the right environment for success.  Through corporate investment such as this, it is clear that our industries are finding their niche here through low business costs and a growing labor pool," Dorchester County Council Chairman Larry Hargett said.

The company has already begun hiring for the new positions. Anyone interested in job opportunities with the company should contact Jennifer Douglas at 843-552-2697, ext. 311.
