“For the past year, Safeplast NA has explored various geographic locations to build a new facility, searching both in Canada and the United States,” said a company statement from Jerry Pawluk, Safeplast NA Company, Ltd. President and Diana Pawluk, Vice President of Sales and Customer Relations. “Thanks to the expert developmental planning of Alliance Pickens and the warm personal reception from the South Carolina community, it became clear that Pickens County Commerce Park was the perfect choice for the future growth of Safeplast. Safeplast now has a tremendous platform for our continued growth while cultivating new business relationships and opportunities.”

Safeplast’s new facility in Pickens County Commerce Park will function as the company’s North American headquarters.

“Safeplast NA Company’s decision to invest in Pickens County and create 30 new jobs serves as an opportunity for South Carolinians to show the world how special of a place our state is, and we are confident they will do just that,” said Gov.
