The company is investing more than $2.5 million in its new location at 25 Colleton Venture Park and is expected to create approximately 55 jobs, according to a news release.

Colonial Precast Concrete is headquartered in Placida, Fla.; it delivers and installs precast hollow core beams, columns and precast stairs throughout the Southeast.

“We look forward to establishing operations in the great state of South Carolina, working with the local builders and contractors, as well as providing a quality structural building product to this area of the Eastern Seaboard,” said Wayne Filyaw, Colonial Precast Concrete of Carolina COO, in the release.

Colleton County Economic Alliance board chair Lee Petrolawicz said the organization is pleased that Colonial Precast Concrete decided to locate in Colleton County.

“This is another nationally known business investing in Colleton County’s strong workforce,” he said in the release. “We are thankful for the 55 new jobs this operation will bring to our family members, friends and neighbors.”

Colonial Precast Concrete’s Colleton County operation is expected to be operational in early 2020.
