BEAUFORT, S.C. — An Italian maker of tubing and fittings for trucks and industrial equipment plans to set up a distribution and customer support operation in Beaufort County, the governor’s office announced Tuesday, Nov. 10. The company expects to put in roughly $5 million and hire at least 11 people across a five-year span.
ERRECINQUE USA, the American arm of ERRECINQUE, intends to start work in January 2027 at a Bluffton site on Buckwalter Place. Local employees will manage stock, storage, filling orders and everyday customer service.
The parent firm started in 1981 and is based near Turin, Italy. It manufactures plastic tubing, hoses, connectors and molded components used in commercial vehicles. Products include heated lines carrying diesel exhaust fluid, plus fuel and coolant hoses and air conditioning and refrigeration tubing.
A longtime partner in Michigan will stay on as the firm’s sole sales representative for its existing American customers.
Gov. Henry McMaster called the decision a sign of the state’s pro-business climate. Alice Howard, who chairs Beaufort County Council, said the investment would bring new jobs to residents and give the company a base from which to grow in the United States.
