COLUMBIA, S.C. — ERRECINQUE USA, U.S. subsidiary of Italian manufacturer ERRECINQUE, has selected Beaufort County for its new distribution and customer support facility. The company plans to invest approximately $5 million over five years and create more than 10 new jobs.
Founded in 1981 and headquartered near Turin, Italy, ERRECINQUE designs and manufactures thermoplastic tubing, hose assemblies, fittings and molded components for commercial vehicles and other automotive and industrial applications. Its products include heated lines and tank sender units for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), fuel and coolant lines, and hoses and fittings for air conditioning and refrigeration. ERRECINQUE works with customers to tailor solutions, from material selection and connection design to integration into vehicle systems.
ERRECINQUE USA expects to open its new Bluffton facility at Buckwalter Place in January 2027. The local team will manage inventory, warehousing, order fulfillment and day-to-day customer support. ERRECINQUE’s longtime commercial partner in Michigan will continue as the company’s exclusive sales representative for the U.S. customers it serves.
“ERRECINQUE’s growth has always been driven by engineering expertise and the ability to develop technologies around our customers’ needs. As vehicle and industrial systems evolve, we continue to invest in thermal management, fluid handling, pneumatic applications and emissions-control technologies. We work closely with existing and prospective customers to design advanced, tailored solutions. Choosing Beaufort County is an important step in bringing that expertise closer to our U.S. customers. We look forward to building lasting relationships in Bluffton and contributing to South Carolina’s industrial community.”
