Eastern Engineered Wood Products (Eastern), a wholesale distributor of engineered wood products, recently announced that it will establish the company’s first South Carolina operation in Belton. The $18.7 million investment will create 31 new jobs.
Founded in Pennsylvania in 1998, Eastern supplies engineered wood products to building materials dealers and lumberyards across the East Coast. The company also provides technical support to customers including product placement drawings, product specification assistance and sales education.
Eastern’s new distribution center, to be located at 110 Milliken Drive in Belton, will service lumber dealers and component manufacturers in South Carolina, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee.
Operations are expected to start later this year with full completion of the project in early 2026. Individuals interested in joining the Eastern team should visit the company’s careers page.
