"We are excited about the opportunity to expand our business footprint in the Lowcountry. South
Carolina has continually provided
our company with
a positive
business environment and
talented workers. This new
expansion is an important step for our
company as
we move forward," said Jim Bozard, founder
and
CEO of Coastal Corrugated Inc.

Coastal Corrugated will add
an additional
40,000 square feet
to
the company’s facility in
Dorchester County. The company
has secured a
contract with
Robert Bosch in
Charleston to produce packaging for
specialized
manufactured parts for "just-in-time" delivery. The company
expects to have the expansion completed by
December
of
this year.

"Improving South Carolina’s economic climate so that more
of our existing businesses can
grow and create jobs is a top priority for this administration"” said Gov. Nikki
Haley. "Coastal Corrugated’s decision to
expand is
another indication our efforts are on the right track."

"Coastal Corrugated has been part
of
South Carolina’s business community for more than two
decades, and this expansion shows the company’s commitment to
our
state. This announcement also
serves as another sign that our
state’s business-friendly climate, skilled workforce
and exceptional market access are
helping existing
companies grow," said Bobby Hitt, Secretary of Commerce.

Dorchester County Council Chairman Larry Hargett
said, "The decision for Coastal
Corrugated to expand their operations is not
only a sign
of strength for
the
organization as a whole, but is also further proof that Dorchester County has the right environment for success.
Through corporate investment such
as this, it is
clear that our industries are finding their niche here through low business costs
and a growing labor pool."

"Coastal Corrugated is a stellar corporate citizen, and
we are proud to have
them as a business partner within North Charleston," commented Mayor Keith
Summey. "We welcome their renewed commitment
to
doing business here, and are especially energized by the high-caliber, high-paying jobs they are
adding to
our community."

The company
has already begun hiring for
the
new positions. Anyone
