New Wire Marine, a marine electrical system design company, announced plans to expand operations in Dorchester County. The company’s $1.8 million investment will create 38 new jobs over the next five years.
Founded in 2010, New Wire Marine delivers American-made, professional-grade marine products, offering an assortment of custom-made marine switch panels, electrical distribution panels, gauge and meter panels, and other marine-grade electrical necessities. The company provides engineered, customizable and affordable products to customers worldwide.
Located at Dorchester Industrial Park in North Charleston, New Wire Marine is adding an 8,000-square-foot warehouse at its site to accommodate company growth and production. The expansion will more than double the current production floor size, allowing for more computer numerical control (CNC) machinery and increased production capacity.
The expansion is expected to be complete in January 2023. Individuals interested in joining the New Wire Marine team should visit the company’s careers page.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits related to this project.
The president of New Wire Marine Eric Steele stated, “This expansion is an exciting next step in our journey to dominate our industry. It will allow us to increase capacity, build even better dash panels and hire more incredible people right here in Dorchester County, S.C. I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring!”
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said, “We are delighted to see a homegrown company like New Wire Marine continue to expand in our state. South Carolina has the assets for businesses to succeed, and this announcement goes to show that our efforts are paying off in a big way.”
