BLYTHEWOOD – Xerxes, a maker of fiberglass underground storage tanks, held a grand opening for its newest facility Tuesday morning in Blythewood. This is the business’s first location in Richland County.
According to a press release from Richland County in May of 2023, Xerxes manufactures fiberglass-reinforced plastic underground storage tanks, primarily used within the retail fuel, storm water and wastewater markets.
The production facility will expand the company’s capability to deliver underground fuel and water storage tanks. The company is expected to bring approximately 80 jobs to Blythewood.
“This announcement is exciting news for Blythewood, and we are proud to welcome Xerxes to South Carolina,” said Secretary of Commerce Harry Lightsey. “Our state’s substantial resources will help Xerxes build a solid foundation for success and, in turn, continue to elevate economic opportunities in Richland County and beyond.”
Xerxes is located at 141 Hobart Road in Blythewood.
