GEORGETOWN (From S.C. Dept. of Commerce Press Release) — MPW Industrial Services, a company that provides a variety of industrial cleaning, water purification, facility management and environmental management services, is building an industrial water regeneration plant in Georgetown County. The company’s $10 million investment is expected to result in 32 new jobs in Andrews.
Water generation facilities serve clients within a 500-mile radius, restoring the exhausted resin from the company’s mobile deionization systems back to an ionic form capable of purifying more water. Clients requiring pure water for their processes include the automotive, power generation, petrochemical and refining and pulp and paper industries.
The company purchased an existing building that Georgetown County built and will renovate it to suit its needs. This will be MPW’s fifth such plant, and will serve several areas of the southeast. The other MPW plants are located in Ohio, Texas, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.
Construction on the facility is expected to begin this fall, and hiring is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2016. At that time, those interested in joining the MPW team should visit the company’s careers page online. For more information on MPW Industrial Services, visit www.mpwservices.com.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development in Columbia has approved a $200,000 Set Aside grant to Georgetown County to assist with the costs of real property improvements related to the project.
“This new plant will enable us to meet the needs of our growing customer base in the Southeast,” said MPW Industrial Water Division General Manager Jared Black. “In addition to being business friendly, Georgetown is a great location because we can easily reach clients from Florida to Alabama, all of whom depend on us for prompt and timely service.”
“Today, we celebrate MPW Industrial Services’ decision to locate its newest water regeneration facility in Georgetown County,” said Govenor Nikki Haley in a statement. “MPW’s $10 million investment and the 30 new jobs it will create will make a real difference, we’re excited to welcome them to the South Carolina family.”
