Youth and master bedroom manufacturer Maxwood Furniture is all set to open another warehouse in Marion County, S.C., and this will increase the company’s manufacturing and storage capabilities. The 500,000-square-foot facility, demands an investment of more than $5.8 million, is expected to be completed at the end of 2021. It also is expected to create 30 new jobs.
The S.C. Department of Commerce announced the project this week. As part of that announcement, the department said that the Coordinating Council for Economic Development has awarded a $250,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund Grant to Marion County to assist with costs related to the project, which will be located in a formal Blumenthal Mills facility.
“Maxwood Furniture has been a great asset to Marion County, and we are excited that they are moving into the former Blumenthal Mills facility,” said Marion County Administrator Tim Harper. “This is a great opportunity for the city and county with the renovations that they are making. We are excited about their expansion and that they have decided to make that expansion in Marion County.”
This is Maxwood’s second warehouse and distribution center in Marion County. In February 2019, it announced it was opening a 130,000-square-foot facility that would create about 21 new jobs. The new facility will not replace the existing warehouse, Maxwood officials said. He noted that the larger warehouse will enable the company to expand its operations and develop its distribution even further, particularly related to e-commerce fulfillment. “But we also foresee other opportunities to come from the extra space,” he added. “We much appreciate all the help, especially from Julie Norman with the economic development office, who was instrumental in making all this happen.”
