84 Lumber has selected Clarendon County in South Carolina as the location to establish its second component plant in the state. The $13.4 million investment will create an estimated 78 new jobs, according to the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
“We’re thrilled to be opening our new component plant in Manning, S.C. This facility is an investment in both the future of the company and the local community. We’re bringing a dedicated workforce and cutting-edge technology,” said 84 Lumber vice president of installed sales and manufacturing Ken Kucera. “We’re excited for the bright future as we continue to grow.”
84 Lumber’s new plant will be used as a floor and roof truss manufacturing facility. The location is the dealer’s second truss plant in South Carolina, focusing on the coastal Carolina markets in Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and the surrounding areas. The company’s first component plant in the state was announced in Dec. 2023 and is located in Lugoff.
“84 Lumber’s decision to invest $13.4 million in South Carolina is another victory for our state’s thriving business community,” Gov. Henry McMaster said. “We are proud to welcome the company to Clarendon County and look forward to the positive impact it will have in the years ahead.”
84 Lumber is a provider of building materials, manufactured components, and services for the single-family and multifamily markets. The company operates 320 facilities across the country and offers installation services for framing, insulation, siding, windows, roofing, decking, and drywall.
