Swiss Krono Group, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wood-based materials, continues to invest in rural its US plant in Barnwell, South Carolina.  The Swiss-based company is building a 250,000-square-foot expansion on its existing Barnwell manufacturing facility, with help from the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program. 

The expansion includes the construction of a new medium-density fiberboard (MDF) manufacturing line, ancillary wood yard, energy plant and waste treatment facilities, as well as the installation of a fourth laminate flooring line.
