China Jushi starts work on fiberglass plant in US

China Jushi, a global manufacturer and promoter of fiberglass products, broke ground for a $300 million, 80,000-metric-ton fiberglass production line in Richland County, South Carolina, the United States, on Thursday.

"Not only is this an important day for Richland County, this is an important one for our state. This $300 million investment, creating 400 jobs in its first phase, is very significant," said Robert M. Hitt III, secretary of the South Carolina Department of Commerce.

The construction of the plant by Jushi USA, which is headquartered in Irwindale, California, represents another strategic milestone by China Jushi after a project in Egypt.
