Samuel Packaging Systems Group, a division of Samuel, Son & Co. (USA) Inc., announced plans to expand operations in York County on Wednesday. The company’s $11.5 million investment will create an estimated 20 new jobs when completed in the first quarter of 2023.
“York County is proud to see Samuel Packaging Systems Group expand as they make this new investment and create additional jobs within our community,” York County Council Chairwoman Christi Cox said. “It is always good news for our county and our state when one of our existing manufacturers expands. We look forward to watching them continue to grow.”

The company specializes in polyester (PET) strapping, a lower cost and more durable alternative to steel strap.The expansion will upgrade existing production lines and include the purchase of a new PET strand line.
The current facility, located in Fort Mill, is approximately 203,300 square feet. The facility opened in 1996 with two production lines and 25 jobs.
“With the support of York County, we have grown to four production lines and over 90 jobs, and additional jobs when the fifth line arrives,” President Cy Slifka said. “Samuel is a global provider of plastic strapping and invests where we have success. The support of York County is a great example of a partnership that creates success.”
