Tyson Steel Building Products plans to open its first South Carolina operation in Liberty, the state Department of Commerce announced September 9. The company expects to invest $15.15 million and create approximately 20 jobs through the manufacturing project.
The planned 96,000-square-foot plant will be located at 180 Ann Drive. Commerce said it will produce components for the company’s pre-engineered metal buildings, adding a manufacturing location in Pickens County for the family-owned business.
Founded in 1976 by James L. Tyson, the company designs and installs buildings used by residential, commercial and agricultural customers. The South Carolina announcement concerns the production facility that will support those building products, rather than a single construction contract for a customer.
Operations are expected to begin by spring 2027. That remains a projected schedule in the September announcement. People interested in employment were directed to the company’s corporate office in Doerun, Georgia; the release did not describe the announced jobs as already filled.
