The producer of fresh canned vegetables and fruit will create 140 new jobs at its Florence County, SC operations.
McCall
Farms, the South Carolina-based manufacturers of Margaret Holmes, Glory
Foods, Peanut Patch Boiled Peanuts, Bruce’s Yams, Allens, Allens
Popeye, Veg-All and Princella, plans to expand its existing operations
in Florence County, SC.
The $50 million investment is expected to create
140 new jobs.
“McCall Farms is excited to see our company expand in Florence County,” said McCall Farms
Co-Owner Woody Swink.
“Our business has grown significantly over the
last few years, and we have never been more appreciative of our
employees and the cusomers who support us.”
“We are proud to call South
Carolina home, as our state provides an excellent business environment
and our community has a dedicated workforce.”
“We would also like to
acknowledge our gratitude for the support we have received from our
state and local officials. Their commitment and hard work make this
expansion possible.”
“When a company like McCall Farms
continues to grow within our borders, it shows that companies find the
resources they need to be successful here,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
“Every one of these jobs will have an impact on Florence County, and we
thank this great company for their commitment to our state and we look
forward to watching their continued success.”
Founded
by James McCall in 1838, McCall Farms has grown significantly since its
inception.
Today, as one of America’s leading producers of fresh canned
vegetables and fruit, the family-owned company grows its products on
2,000 acres of family farmland in Effingham, SC, with an additional
25,000 acres contracted throughout South Carolina, North Carolina,
Georgia and Florida.
The South Carolina Coordinating
Council for Economic Development approved a $1.2 million Set-Aside grant
to Florence County to assist with costs related to the project.
“South
Carolina has a long history in agribusiness, and today’s announcement
by McCall Farms is another indication that sector is thriving,” said South Carolina Department of Commerce
Secretary Bobby Hitt.
“We’re excited to congratulate the company on
this latest expansion, and we look forward to seeing the impact these
new jobs will have in Florence County.”
Located in
Effingham, SC, the expansion will allow the company to increase
productivity for existing lines and to also install new lines. The new
facility is expected to be online by the second quarter of 2020.
“The Florence County Economic Development Partnership
prides itself on the growth of existing industries,” said Florence
County Economic Development Partnership Chairman Joe W. “Rocky” Pearce.
“The continued growth of McCall Farms is a testament to the business
climate that we have worked diligently to cultivate and maintain.”
