Executive Personal Computers Inc., described as one of the largest information technology disposal companies in the world, will expand new operations in Lexington County.
The $9.5 million investment will create 133 jobs in the Midlands, according to a news release.
“We’re proud to grow our relationship with Columbia and the great state of South Carolina,” EPC President Pat Laughlin said in a news release. “We’re looking forward to our continued growth together.”
The new 203,000-square-foot facility on Bush River Road is located in what used to be a Walmart. It will serve as the company’s East Coast hub and accommodate more production.

“EPC Inc.’s growth is further proof that South Carolina is evolving into a hub for technology-focused companies,” McMaster said in a news release. “Our highly skilled workforce speaks volumes to why businesses invest in the state.”
Operations are expected to be finished by the first quarter of 2023.
