Innegrity To Expand Production, Add 150 Jobs
Innegrity LLC, a Greenville County, S.C.-based developer and producer of high-performance fibers
for ballistic-protection, transportation and sporting-goods applications, has announced it plans to
invest $15 million to expand its manufacturing operation and create up to 150 jobs. As part of the
expansion, the company will relocate from its present facility in Greer to a refurbished
120,000-square-foot facility in Mauldin, S.C., that will provide space for commercial-scale
production and research, as well as expanded administrative, sales and marketing office space.
Innegrity opened its doors in Greenville County in 2004, focusing originally on research and development and establishing relationships with downstream customers including fabric and end-product manufacturers, and began operating a pilot production line in 2007. Through its subsidiary Innegrity Europe GmbH, established in partnership with Germany-based Reimotec Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH, the company commenced European manufacturing operations in April 2008.
The company has developed two high-performance fibers — including ultra-lightweight Innegra™ S, a polypropylene-based fiber that can be incorporated with aramid into ballistic panels that deliver performance comparable to 100-percent aramid panels at a much lower cost; and Innegra E low dielectric fiber used in high-frequency circuit boards to improve the efficiency and speed of high-speed electronics.
“South Carolina has been home to Innegrity since we founded the company, and we are pleased to continue to build our company here,” said Dr. Brian G. Morin, the company’s CEO. “We believe that an unwavering focus on innovation and integrity, a commitment to solving global problems with high-performance materials, and combining quality people with state-of-the-art facilities are the cornerstones to achieving our goals. We’re pleased to continue to expand Innegrity’s presence here in Greenville County, and thank Greenville County, the Greenville Area Development Corporation (GADC), the city of Mauldin, and the South Carolina Department of Commerce for their support in helping plan and execute this initiative.”
