Adeptus USA plans to establish its first South Carolina manufacturing operation in Honea Path, according to a September 30 announcement from the South Carolina Department of Commerce. The wood-products company expects to invest $215.56 million and create 217 jobs.
The facility at 1205 Hamby Road will make processed pine products for construction and millwork. Its planned output includes painted and primed moulding, boards, shiplap and several types of panels. The announcement describes a future manufacturing project rather than a completed opening.
Operations are expected to start in the second quarter of 2027. HTI will assist with recruitment during startup, with positions listed as they become available through its Adeptus hiring page. The announced job total represents the project’s expected employment.
The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits for the project. It also awarded Anderson County an $850,000 Closing Fund grant to help pay for building improvements connected with the new operation.
