Ray-Mont Logistics, a fully integrated logistics company, will establish operations in North Charleston, SC. The investment of more than $ 16 million will create 85 new jobs in Charleston County.
“Ray-Mont Logistics is proud to partner with the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) and the state of South Carolina with the establishment of this new facility, which is the most recent terminal expansion venture in the United States,” said Ray-Mont CEO of logistics, Charles Raymond. “The Port of Charleston and the main advantages it brings to the North American supply chain will serve to complement our existing facilities, providing a strategic portal to reach the main global markets for exporters. We are honored to join the Charleston community and, through investments and job creation for years to come, Ray-Mont Logistics is committed to providing more economic growth and generating new career opportunities for the citizens of the community. “
Established in 1992 in Montreal, Canada, Ray-Mont Logistics serves as a one-stop shop for a variety of logistical needs and enhances the customer experience on a global scale. Ray-Mont Logistics’ new facility in North Charleston will increase the company’s logistical capacity and resources to better serve its customers. The new installation is expected to be completed in the spring of 2021.
“When a large company like Ray-Mont Logistics decides to establish operations in South Carolina, it is further proof of the fact that our state is open for business,” said Governor Henry McMaster. “Congratulations on this new investment in the Charleston County community and we look forward to Ray-Mont Logistics’s success for many years.”
The South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved project-related job development credits, and Charleston County received a $ 750,000 Set-Aside grant to help with related costs.
“Logistics companies feel at home in South Carolina,” said South Carolina Department of Commerce secretary Bobby Hitt. “Ray-Mont Logistics’ new facility in Charleston County will help a variety of industries to export products around the world and succeed in a globally competitive market.”
“Ray-Mont Logistics’ mission to facilitate international trade by improving the container supply chain is a welcome addition to South Carolina’s export transportation industry,” said South Carolina President and CEO Jim Newsome. “SC Ports looks forward to partnering with Ray-Mont Logistics through our reliable operations, extensive capacity and resources from large ships in the Port of Charleston.”
“Our world-class assets continue to be a determining factor in site selection,” said Charleston County Council President Teddie Pryor. “Ray-Mont Logistics has recognized that Charleston County is positioned to move products efficiently and economically. This is an important investment for our area and we congratulate all parties involved. “
