Smartpress, a commercial online printing company, has selected Spartanburg County to establish the company’s first South Carolina operation. The $9.6 million investment will create 150 new jobs.

Headquartered in Minnesota, Smartpress is one of the fastest-growing printers in North America for businesses and creative professionals. The company operates out of offices and production facilities in seven locations across the U.S. and ships hundreds of orders every day.

Smartpress will lease the 94,000-square-foot print production facility located at 1061 Duncan Reidville Road in Duncan, allowing the company to better serve East Coast customers.

“Our decision to expand Smartpress into South Carolina was driven by the region’s dynamic population growth and a talented workforce eager for opportunity,” said Smartpress Vice President Matt Chapman. “We are proud to bring our 100% employee-owned company to Spartanburg County, knowing the local community will play a key role in our continued success and innovation in print production.”

Operations are expected to be online in November 2024. Individuals interested in joining the Smartpress team should visit the company’s careers page.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project.
