This $13.4 million investment is expected to create 78 new jobs in the region.
“We’re thrilled to be opening our new component plant in Manning, South Carolina. This facility is an investment in both the future of the company and the local community.” Ken Kucera, , 84 Lumber’s vice president of installed sales and manufacturing.
“We’re bringing a dedicated workforce and cutting-edge technology. We’re excited for the bright future as we continue to grow.” Ken added further.
84 Lumber’s new facility, located at 2678 Ram Bay Road in Manning, will serve as a floor and roof truss manufacturing plant. This marks the company’s second truss plant in South Carolina, targeting coastal markets such as Savannah, Charleston, Myrtle Beach, and the surrounding areas.
