Le Creuset expanding Hampton County operations

Le Creuset, a global cookware, bakeware and kitchen tools brand, announced it is expanding its operations in Hampton County. The company’s $30 million investment will create 30 new jobs.

Founded in France in 1925, Le Creuset manufactures and distributes premium, enameled cast-iron cookware, as well as stainless steel, stoneware and other kitchenware for customers around the globe. The company first established a presence in South Carolina in 1974 and opened its primary U.S. distribution operations in Hampton County in 1997.

Le Creuset will expand its Hampton County operations by constructing a new 300,000-square-foot distribution facility located at 601 Bob Gifford Blvd. in Early Branch. Operations are expected to be online in March 2026.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $200,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Hampton County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
