Intertex Transloading Services, Inc. establishes Berkeley County facility

Worldwide distributor of synthetic rubber, carbon black and process oils investing $3.2 million in Berkeley County

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A company specializing in the distribution of synthetic rubber, carbon black and process oils is opening a facility in Berkeley County. Intertex World Resources, Inc. is investing $3.2 million to establish Intertex Transloading Services, Inc. in Moncks Corner, S.C. The investment is expected to create 10 local jobs.

Founded in 1990 and based in Akron, Ohio, Intertex World Resources, Inc. is one of the largest and most diversified distributors of elastomers, master batches, natural and synthetic rubber, process oils and carbon black, a material used as reinforcing filler in tires and other molded rubber and plastic products. These materials have tremendous relevance in South Carolina as the Palmetto State is currently the number one producer and exporter of tires in the United States.

This new Berkeley County facility, a more than 100,000-square-foot building located at 164 Spring Grove Road, will specialize in the transloading of carbon black. This is a major step for Intertex Transloading Services, Inc. as the company seeks to become a larger supplier to the growing tire and rubber industry in South Carolina and the Southeastern United States.
