Cayce, South Carolina Welcomes Techo-Bloc’s New Manufacturing Facility
Techo-Bloc, a leader in the manufacture of hardscape materials, has announced its plan to invest $46 million in a new manufacturing facility in Cayce, South Carolina. This initiative is set to create 46 new jobs for the local community, reflecting the company’s commitment to expanding its operational footprint in the Southeast.
The facility will be located on Dixiana Road and is slated to begin operations in the fall of 2026. Techo-Bloc specializes in producing a range of construction materials, including bricks, pavers, slabs, and retaining walls, and will have considerable distribution capabilities through its established network.
Currently, Techo-Bloc operates factories in Illinois, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, employing over 800 individuals across the United States. The company distributes its products to more than 900 stores in the U.S. and Canada and aims to leverage its Cayce facility to better serve the growing demand in the Southeast market.
Investment Details and Job Creation
The financial commitment includes a comprehensive tax incentives package approved by the Lexington County Council. This package will allow Techo-Bloc to benefit from lower property tax payments and includes a special source revenue credit amounting to $310,000 over the next 20 years. This support is aimed at facilitating the company’s transition to the region and enhancing its competitiveness.
The site for Techo-Bloc’s new facility was previously owned by Dominion Energy. The land was sold to Donald Tomlin, Jr. in 2019 and later acquired by developers for approximately $1.5 million in 2021, making it well-prepared for industrial use.
Local Support and Economic Development
Officials in Lexington County, including Governor Henry McMaster and Lexington County Council Chairman M. Todd Cullum, have expressed support for Techo-Bloc’s investment, highlighting its potential to stimulate local economic growth and promote job creation in the area.
This investment marks at least the third significant economic development project in Lexington County that has sought tax incentives in the current year, showcasing the area as an increasingly attractive location for manufacturing and industrial operations.
