Worldwide Distributor Of Synthetic Rubber, Carbon Black And Process Oils Investing $3.2 Million In Berkeley County

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A company specializing in the distribution of synthetic rubber, carbon black and process oils is opening a facility in Berkeley County. Intertex World Resources, Inc. is investing $3.2 million to establish Intertex Transloading Services, Inc. in Moncks Corner, S.C. The investment is expected to create 10 local jobs.

Founded in 1990 and based in Akron, Ohio, Intertex World Resources, Inc. is one of the largest and most diversified distributors of elastomers, master batches, natural and synthetic rubber, process oils and carbon black, a material used as reinforcing filler in tires and other molded rubber and plastic products. These materials have tremendous relevance in South Carolina as the Palmetto State is currently the number one producer and exporter of tires in the United States.

This new Berkeley County facility, a more than 100,000-square-foot building located at 164 Spring Grove Road, will specialize in the transloading of carbon black. This is a major step for Intertex Transloading Services, Inc. as the company seeks to become a larger supplier to the growing tire and rubber industry in South Carolina and the Southeastern United States.

Hiring for the new positions is currently underway. Those interested in applying may contact Gary Horning at [email protected] for more information.

“This exciting new opportunity will allow Intertex World Resources to expand our reach in this resurging industry – providing us with the ability to continue to serve our long-standing clients, while expanding our reach and designing new services from the ground up. As leaders in the industry, we are driven to stay ahead of the curve by identifying not only the current needs of customers, but forecasting future needs and opportunities based on industry growth. The opening of our facility in Berkeley County, South Carolina, is the first step in that process. We will be able to transload carbon black into bulk package on site. The facility is in close proximity to the port and new tire plants, helping to expedite handling imported material and providing maximum efficiency for our customers,” said Intertex World Resources, Inc. President Stan Rybalov.

“We have reviewed dozens of facilities in the Charleston S.C. region and Savannah, Ga. area, before determining that the Moncks Corner, S.C. facility offers us the best location to serve our growing customer base in the tire and rubber industry. The facility is over 100,000 square feet, and offers us the capability to expand. This is an exciting opportunity for Intertex and we look forward to growing with the resurgent tire industry in South Carolina, and the United States,” said Intertex World Resources, Inc. Director of Carbon Black Services Gary Horning.

“S.C. Ports Authority welcomes Intertex Transloading Services to the Lowcountry, and we look forward to handling their import needs. The growth of businesses that support South Carolina’s tire industry generates new volumes for the SCPA and has a significant economic impact on our state and region,”  said S.C. Ports Authority President and CEO Jim Newsome.
