Adeptus USA (Adeptus), a wood products manufacturer, announced plans to build a new facility in Anderson County, its first in the state.

Officials said that the company’s $215.56 million investment will create 217 new jobs.

The facility, located at 1205 Hamby Road in Honea Path, will manufacture value-added and processed pine wood products for a diverse range of building products and millwork applications. The company’s primary product offerings include painted and primed moulding, boards, shiplap, and a variety of panel products and grades.

“The tremendous commitment shown by the state of South Carolina, Anderson County and the local forestry community made it clear that this is the right place for Adeptus to invest and grow. We are proud to become part of South Carolina’s well-established wood products industry and look forward to building lasting partnerships throughout the region. This investment represents far more than a manufacturing operation — it reflects a long-term commitment to our employees, our customers, and the communities of Anderson County and the surrounding area. We are sincerely grateful to the state of South Carolina and Anderson County for their partnership and support throughout this process. We would also like to recognize Atlantic Union Bank; Venturus, a division of Heritage Bank; USDA Rural Development; and Capital Resource Advisors. Their partnership and commitment were instrumental in helping bring this project to fruition.”
-- Adeptus USA CEO Billy White said

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. The council also awarded a $850,000 Closing Fund grant to Anderson County to assist with the costs of building improvements.

Operations are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2027. Interested applicants can apply here.
