Alzchem Group AG has chosen Berkeley County

Berkeley County, South Carolina — July 8, 2026 – Bushy Park, a premier industrial utilities company and multi-tenant manufacturing site located in Berkeley County, SC, has been selected as the location for a significant new U.S. production facility by Alzchem Group AG, a global leader in specialty chemicals and ingredients. The decision marks an important milestone in Alzchem’s U.S. expansion strategy and further strengthens Bushy Park’s position as a leading destination for advanced manufacturing investment. Bushy Park is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacolet Milliken, LLC, of Greenville, SC.

Following an extensive site evaluation process, Bushy Park was chosen for its ability to support complex, large-scale chemical manufacturing operations. Bushy Park’s 1,530-acre campus offers a variety of established industrial infrastructure, including integrated utility systems, multimodal transportation access, and proximity to the Port of Charleston, which enables efficient logistics and long-term supply chain reliability.

The investment will expand domestic production capacity in the nitroguanidine sector, which is supported by sustained demand driven by evolving global market conditions. Bushy Park’s location within the growing Charleston region also provides access to a deep pool of skilled talent in chemical processing and advanced manufacturing.

In addition to the region’s infrastructure and workforce advantages, the project benefited from strong collaboration with Berkeley County and the State of South Carolina. This partnership underscores the state and local commitment to fostering industrial growth and attracting high-impact economic development projects.
