Quality Enclosures has several locations throughout the Southeast, mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, according to the release. Founded in 1963, the company manufactures and wholesales luxury glass shower enclosures.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to this project, according to the release. The council also awarded a $250,000 Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to Clarendon County to assist with the cost of building improvements.

“With a willing and ready workforce, unparalleled access to the market, and a business-friendly climate, it’s no surprise Quality Enclosures chose Clarendon County as the home of their first South Carolina location,” Central SC Alliance Chairman Matthew Shaffer said in the release. “We look forward to seeing them grow.”
