JGB Brothers LLC, a food fibers manufacturer, announced it is establishing operations in Bamberg County.
The company’s $7 million investment will create 40 jobs, according to Gov. Henry McMaster’s office.
“The InterFiber Group proudly announces a groundbreaking milestone — the acquisition of a brand-new manufacturing site in Bamberg, South Carolina. Under this momentous project, we will eventually invest a total of over $36 million covering the acquisition and outfitting of this new facility,” said InterFiber President Jacek Bednarek.
Bednarek added, “ The new state-of-the-art plant will feature fully robotic production lines, setting new standards for automation, precision and efficiency in food fiber manufacturing. Alongside the plant, we are also planning to establish a modern R&D and Application Center that will serve as a springboard for developing next-generation solutions for the food and pet food industries.”
JGB Brothers is a subsidiary of InterFiber, a family-owned and operated manufacturer headquartered in Poland.
For more than 20 years, InterFiber has been creating innovative and effective solutions that result in new product improvement and reduction of production costs with a final goal of improving the nutritional value of food products.
The company’s initial investment supports its new facility located at 66 Innovation Drive in Bamberg.
The manufacturing site will be used to produce plant-sourced food fibers, which are used as additives in human and pet food, and have extensive applications for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and building materials.
Operations are expected to be online in late 2026. Production will use locally sourced agricultural raw materials.
The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Bamberg County to assist with the costs of building improvements.
