Company to add 36 jobs with $305,000 investment and new product line
COLUMBIA, S.C. – November 21, 2013 – B3C Fuel Solutions, a manufacturer of environmentally friendly fuel products, today announced the expansion of its Conway, S.C.-based operation, which will create 36 jobs and $305,000 in capital investment during a three‐year period.
B3C products aim to extend the life of equipment engines by preventing issues like water intrusion or buildup of impurities. With this expansion, B3C will expand the company’s existing product line of fuel solutions with its new FUEL LIFE technology. This new product is designed to stabilize and deter water accumulation in fuel, virtually eliminating the need for liquid fuel additives.
"As a total fuel solutions company, continuous innovation and new product development are the keys to our success,” said Brian Boezi, CEO of B3C Fuel Solutions. “This new technology has the potential to change the fuel additive industry as we know it today by stopping fuel-related engine problems before they start. We are pleased to be expanding our existing headquarters in Conway and appreciate the support of the local community and the state in our growth.”
B3C Fuel Solutions manufactures and distributes products on an international scale to more than 25,000 retail outlets. Retail customers include Home Depot, Tractor Supply and Walmart as well as the company’s nationwide network of dealers and distributors.
“B3C’s expansion in Horry County once again demonstrates that South Carolina is where companies can grow and succeed,” said Gov. Nikki Haley. “We remain committed to providing an environment that fosters innovation and technology in manufacturing and celebrate the 36 new jobs coming to Conway.”
Since January 2011, South Carolina has recruited more than $10 billion in capital investment and more than 28,000 jobs in the manufacturing sector.
“South Carolina continues to lead the manufacturing renaissance,” said Secretary Bobby Hitt. “So far this year, more than 30 manufacturers have announced expansions in the state, which is a testament to our business-friendly climate that allows existing industry to further grow and prosper.”
"The B3C expansion continues a record-setting trend for economic development in Horry County,” stated Mark Lazarus, chairman of Horry County Council. “Thanks to this fine company for their decision to grow and expand in our community.”
