Palmetto Millworks of the Carolinas LLC, a locally owned and operated manufacturer of polyvinyl chloride columns, is investing $5.5 million to expand its operations to a new facility in Richland County, a move that will create 47 new jobs.

The company will relocate its existing Richland County operations to Lightwood Industrial Park at the intersection of I-20 and Farrow Road in Columbia, according to a news release. The new expansion is expected to be complete in 2023.

Founded in 2021, Palmetto Millworks produces columns designed around a structural aluminum core for safety and durability. The company also produces porch arches, gable brackets, garage trellises and flower boxes, the release said.

“Palmetto Millworks of the Carolinas LLC’s growth demonstrates how new business can quickly find success in Richland County’s business climate,” said Richland County Council Chairman Overture Walker. “The company will continue to benefit from our community’s strong workforce as they hire for these new positions.”
