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.
