July 7, 2015
Company Investing $10 Million To Open Regeneration Plant
GEORGETOWN, SC – MPW Industrial Services, a company that provides a variety of industrial cleaning, water purification, facility management and environmental management services, is building an industrial water regeneration plant in Georgetown County. The company’s $10 million investment is expected to result in 32 new jobs in Andrews, S.C.
MPW’s regeneration facilities serve clients within a 500-mile radius, restoring the exhausted resin from the company’s mobile deionization systems back to an ionic form capable of purifying more water. Clients requiring pure water for their processes include the automotive, power generation, petrochemical and refining and pulp and paper industries.
To house its Georgetown County regeneration operations, MPW has purchased an existing building constructed and owned by Georgetown County and will refit it to suit their needs. To be located in the Georgetown County Business Center at 373 Technology Drive in Andrews, the Georgetown facility will be MPW’s fifth regeneration plant, and strategically important to serving clients in the Southeast region. The company’s other regeneration facilities are in Newark, Ohio; Port Arthur, Texas; Sedalia, Mo.; and Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Construction on the facility is expected to begin this fall, and hiring is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2016. At that time, those interested in joining the MPW team should visit the company’s careers page online. For more information on MPW Industrial Services, visit www.mpwservices.com.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved a $200,000 Set Aside grant to Georgetown County to assist with the costs of real property improvements related to the project.
