Seabrook Welcomes $7 Million Investment from TL+CO Business Solutions

A Utah-based supply chain company, TL+CO Business Solutions, is set to invest over $7 million in a new facility located in Seabrook, South Carolina. This initiative is part of the company’s expansion into the defense and aerospace industries.

Key Details:

• Investment Amount: Over $7 million, with $300,000 sourced from local and state grants.
• Facility Features: Utilization of robots for assembly and retrieval of specialized parts.
• Job Creation: 35 new positions, with salaries above the county’s median income.
• Location: 1236 Trask Parkway, near U.S. Highways 21 and 17, approximately 12 miles north of Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.
• Operational Start: Commencing this month.

The Seabrook facility will maintain an extensive inventory of specialized components necessary for the defense and aerospace sectors. For instance, if a client requires a carburetor for a rocket, all relevant parts will be readily assembled on site.

Technological Advancements:

The existing building has been modified to accommodate TL+CO’s operations. Robots within the facility will deliver parts to sorting stations, enhancing efficiency compared to conventional methods such as forklifts.

Community Impact:

The facility’s location was strategically chosen, benefiting from the annual transition of approximately 800 service members from nearby military bases. TL+CO plans to partner closely with the Beaufort County Economic Development Corp., which is actively seeking to attract more businesses to the aerospace and defense sectors.

Employment Opportunities:

Salaries for the new positions will be notably above the median income levels in Beaufort County, and interested candidates are encouraged to reach out to Tim DiDonato via email at [email protected] for job inquiries.

Future Outlook:

TL+CO’s total anticipated investments in the Seabrook facility could reach $7.5 million. Additionally, the company is expected to receive job development tax credits as part of its economic contribution to the area.

Statements from Officials:

John O’Toole, head of the Beaufort County Economic Development Corp., expressed confidence that this investment will pave the way for further business expansion in the region.
