The abundant amount of resources, available workforce, and logistical advantages are why companies like Gulbrandsen, Helena Chemicals, and CPS have continued to grow. These are also the reasons why Inbra Chemical Industries, headquartered in Brazil, selected Orangeburg County to open their first North American facility.
