Palmetto Plastics Innovations, a plastic extrusion manufacturer, announced April 9, 2025, it is establishing operations in Jasper County.

The company’s state-of-the-art thermoforming facility will create 28 jobs, according to Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.

Palmetto Plastics manufactures fill and drift eliminators for the cooling tower industry. Officials said the company’s products are vital plastic components for systems used in power plants, manufacturing facilities, universities and hospitals.

Palmetto Plastics will own a new 30,000-square-foot manufacturing facility located at 402 Marble Road in Hardeeville.

Operations are expected to be online in June 2025. Those interested in joining the Palmetto Plastics team should contact Mark Gaeta ([email protected]).

The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. 

The council also awarded a $100,000 Set-Aside grant to Jasper County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
