Announcements
FITESA, a Brazilian
fabric manufacturer, announced Tuesday that it is locating a
new facility in Laurens County.
Fitesa
Petropar plans to
bring 80 jobs to the area and invest $120 million in the new
plant. This is the largest investment in the history of
Laurens County. The company visited more than 60 sites
across the southeast before settling here. They say the
people here is what sold them on the area. For the last
five years, Laurens County has been developing the land for
this announcement. Development includes a sewer, new
roads and preparation for a one million gallon water tower
that is soon to come.
Fitesa Petropar makes non-woven materials such as diapers.
Construction will start next year. One warehouse will be
done in about four months, and the main factory building will
take about a year. The company will be first tenant in
Owings Park, located off interstate 385 near Gray Court.
The Laurens
County Council, the Laurens County Development
Corporation, LCWSC, and other economic community leaders are
making an effort to encourage economic growth through the
development of Owings Industrial Park in northern Laurens
County. Its proximity to Greenville and Spartanburg counties,
Interstate 85 and 385, the new ICAR Park and the BMW assembly
plant make Owings Industrial Park an excellent location for
plastics and automotive related manufacturers.
In order to give Owings Industrial Park
the same advantages as other upstate sites and as other
locations throughout the United States, the Laurens County
Council authorized up to $4.6 million General Obligation Bond.
This bond, issued on behalf of LCWSC for sewer system
improvements, will provide the much needed sewer service to
the Industrial Park and surrounding areas and will stimulate
capital investment in all of northern Laurens County.
