COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – A security company with ties to Columbia is set to bring its new headquarters to the city’s BullStreet District.
AMAROK, a company focused on commercial electric fencing, video surveillance and other security tools, announced Tuesday that its $69 million investment is set to create nearly 300 new jobs. AMAROK already has a headquarters in downtown Columbia.
The new, 125,000-square-foot headquarters will be located on the corner of Freed Street and Boyce Street. Officials said the facility is expected to be online by the end of 2028.
“Over the past eight years, AMAROK has experienced tremendous growth. As a result, it became clear that it was time to identify a new location for our national headquarters — one that could also serve as a long-term home for more than 500 employees that we will have in the Palmetto State,“ AMAROK CEO Mark Wesley said in a statement. ”We couldn’t ask for a better partner than South Carolina, and we look forward to continuing to build on our culture of family, teamwork and shared purpose.”
“AMAROK’s $69 million expansion in Richland County is a testament to the skilled workforce and business-friendly environment that keep companies choosing South Carolina,” added South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster. “We are proud to have national leaders like AMAROK investing in our state and creating good-paying jobs for our communities.”
McMaster’s office also noted that the state Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved a job development credit for the project, as well as a $200,000 set-aside grant to Richland County to assist with site preparation and construction costs.
