More Than $12.5 Million Investment Creating 31 New Jobs
Adams Products, a subsidiary of Oldcastle APG, announced plans to expand operations in Cherokee County. The more than $12.5 million investment is expected to create 31 new jobs.
Founded in 1946, Adams Products is an industry-leading concrete masonry technology and design company.
“We look forward to expanding manufacturing capabilities at our Cowpens facility to better serve our customers and meet their needs. The addition of cutting-edge equipment will provide a first-class working environment for employees and significantly increase availability of our high-quality dry mix products to our customers in the Carolinas,” said Adams Products President Colin Clampett.
Located at 165 Allison Road in Cowpens, Adams Products’ expansion will add a world-class dry mix and bagging plant to its current operations that span 42 acres. The company is installing state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, which will include an 11-silo batch system for specialty aggregates and two new dry mix bagging lines. The expansion will allow for high volume manufacturing of Oldcastle APG’s two well-known product lines – Sakrete bagged concrete mixes and Amerimix mortars.
The expansion is expected to be completed by late 2020. Individuals interested in joining the Adams Products team should visit www.crhcareers.com.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project. Cherokee County was also awarded a $200,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to assist with costs related to this project.
