Shamrock Technologies, Inc., a global leader in specialty additives, announced it is relocating its corporate headquarters as part of the company's expansion in Laurens County. The company’s $39.6 million investment will create 57 new jobs.
Shamrock produces and distributes micronized wax and other specialty additives used in coatings, inks, greases and lubricants. The company established operations in South Carolina in 2022 with the purchase of a manufacturing facility that produces micronized wax, dispersions, emulsions and related products.
Shamrock’s new headquarters will be located at 101 Connexial Blvd. in Gray Court.
Upon completion of offices, research and development labs, a pilot plant, and a fully functioning warehouse and production space, the company will relocate its New Jersey headquarters to the South Carolina site.
Some operations are expected to be online by the end of 2027, with all phases completed by the end of 2030.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
