SWM opens new plant

SWM International marked the completion of its recent move into a state-of-the-art facility in Prosperity, South Carolina, USA, with a grand opening celebration on June 26, 2019.

Invited guests included community leaders, state business development authorities, and local business leaders, who joined SWM’s employees, SWM CEO Jeffrey Kramer, and members of the SWM board of directors, to note the occasion.

The Prosperity location specializes in a unique printing process for SWM’s patented low-ignition propensity coating technology.

The company previously operated a facility in nearby Newberry, South Carolina.

The new facility has allowed SWM to expand and strengthen its local operations with the addition of production equipment, increasing its operating capacity.

The company employs around 50 individuals at the Prosperity location.

“SWM is a global manufacturing company that brings great jobs and exciting career opportunities to our local residents, actively participates in our community, and contributes to our local economy,” said Wayne Adams, Newberry County administrator.

“They have been a part of our business community since 2007 and we are delighted to see the company settled into this great facility where they can continue to operate and grow here in Prosperity for many years to come.”
