Greif has announced it is investing $13 million over the next five years to expand operations at its Greenville County paper mill in South Carolina and increase production capacity. The Delaware, Ohio-based packaging producer expects the expansion to be complete in November.

The paper mill, located in Taylors, South Carolina, uses recycled paperboard to produce spiral tubes and cores, and the company says the expansion will modernize the facility.

"We are excited to offer increased capabilities within our Taylors facility," says Tim Bergwall, senior vice president and group president, paper packaging and Soterra LLC. "Greif's investment in South Carolina enables us to support our tube and core plants and our customers' growth in this thriving region of the country."

Greif produces more than 2 million tons annually of 100-percent-recycled paperboard and has three specialty converting facilities: Wisconsin, Austell No. 1 and Taylors.

"This announcement further proves that South Carolina's talented workforce and pro-business environment allow our companies to thrive," Gov. Henry McMaster says.
