Let’s get your project started by taking a look at our capabilities, below.
JDI Industrial Services has been serving Laurens SC for a few years now. Many of our clients are in Laurens, which is situated between Charlotte, North Carolina, and Columbia, South Carolina and is considered one of the rising places to do business in SC. JDI proudly serves its clients across the county and in communities such as Fountain Inn, Clinton, Gray Court, Ware Shoals, Joanna, and more.
Since the mid-2000’s, the county and city of Laurens have been pushing for economic growth. The county development focuses on bettering current manufacturing and surrounding markets, and inviting more economic development than ever seen before. Because Laurens has a skilled and well-educated labor force, it continues to grow upward.
Laurens is strategically located for access to the entire Southeast and has an excellent network of state and locally maintained roads. Because of its location and infrastructure the area is expanding and creating new industrial parks. Therefore, this economic development focus continues to attract large manufacturers, OEMs, and suppliers.
Additionally, Laurens is 45 minutes away from the South Carolina Inland Port, which JDI Industrial Services has helped develop. This provides easy access to the international Port of Charleston. This has led to manufacturers like Michelin, Milliken, and Wal-Mart establishing large warehouse distribution centers in the county near Laurens and Clinton.
As a licensed mechanical contracting company operating in Laurens, JDI Industrial Services has the proven resources to execute your project. Our capabilities in mechanical contracting include welding, electrical, and construction, thereby minimizing downtime and costs for our customers. Most Laurens mechanical contractors can only do your mechanical or just piping, but not JDI. This is simply due to the fact that the staff employed to the company are very efficient, highly trained, and diverse. As such, we do small repairs as well as complete rebuilds. We also pre-fabricate, assemble, disassemble, test, and inspect while providing mechanical and electrical upgrades as well as preventative maintenance.
Safety and quality are our priority and so we are very proud to have designed, installed, and implemented several systems throughout the US while at the same time providing our customers with the highest level of service.

Our millwrights are experienced in installing, dismantling, maintaining, repairing, and moving machinery. They not only read blueprints and schematic drawings to determine work procedures, but they also know how to navigate software programs as equipment becomes more advanced.
We are aware that the success of your company depends upon your machines running efficiently as such we perform maintenance, such as lubrication of machinery, bearing replacement, seal replacement, cleaning of parts during an overhaul as well as preventative maintenance.
As an added benefit to our customers, we complement our clients by providing machine moving services. Whenever your project is ready, we can deliver it to your job site and rig it into place. Overall, we can move everything from small machines to entire plant relocations and we offer all forms of industrial rigging.

Additionally, you’ll discover JDI’s ability to provide electrical services can complement your process piping and mechanical work to be fully operational. Why call three contractors when you can simply call one to do it all?

Facilities in our area trust our ability to get them from grade to finished. Our team can handle the industrial construction planning and services you need in preparation for a project’s next steps. From pads, dike walls, sumps and foundations to pits, trench drains, walkways and equipment grouting, we’ve got the experience and resources to get it done.

In Laurens county, “business-centered” starts with a strategically centered location, less than 40 miles from Greenville, less than an hour and a half from Columbia, just 2 hours from Charlotte, 3 hours from Atlanta and only 4 hours from Chattanooga.
Multimodal options amplify location advantages with speed, convenience and exceptional cost-effectiveness, allowing operations to build a supply chain with the precision and power to answer their transit needs and profitability goals. This positioning leads to new manufacturers making their residence in Laurens County such as CeramTec, Torrington, Avery Dennison, and Norbord. Several automobile-parts suppliers have facilities in northern Laurens County at Fountain Inn to supply BMW’s upstate assembly facility.
By 1820, Laurens was known for its tailor-made clothes. Andrew Johnson, the 17th president of the United States, came to Laurens in 1824 and established a tailor shop in the town square. By 1840, the area was booming with establishments, including medical practitioners; a fancy confectionery and fruit store; carriage, buggy and wagon shops; tailor shops; building contractors; flour and corn mills; and 81 registered whiskey distilleries.
Following the growth of the early 19th century, textiles definitively became very important in Laurens County and the Upstate area by its latter half. The Laurens Cotton Mill establishes in 1895, with Mercer Silas Bailey building the first cotton mill in Clinton in 1896, and both Lydia Mill and Watts Mill establishing in 1902. However, over the last several decades, textiles became displaced by a wide variety of industries, including distribution centers, manufacturing, research firms, automobile parts suppliers and others.
When it comes to the distribution centers for products, it’s all about location that businesses can get inventory products where they need to go in the shortest amount of time possible.
That’s why Laurens County is a such a great location for distribution-related industries.
Laurens County has immediate access to three interstate highways (I-26, I-385, & I-85), outstanding rail service, and close proximity to GSP International airport. The county is also close to the Port of Charleston and the SC Inland Port.
Since 1997, JDI Industrial Services has provided the highest level of mechanical and industrial contracting services throughout the Southeast. That’s because our goal is to be 100% committed to exceeding our customer’s expectations and keeping costs low. We are adamant about creating lifelong customers that get what they expect, and give clients better service than they’ve ever had before.

I tell people that if you want to focus on your production, while a great contractor takes care of the process, you should call JDI. I can call on them to do everything at our facility. Why call three contractors when you can just call one?
“JDI performs extremely well, which is why I keep calling them to our manufacturing facility. If there’s a need for piping, electrical, whatever it may be, JDI is my first call. There’s a proven trust I have in their expertise, and I also have the ability to trust that I don’t have to micromanage their team.”
“Working with the team at JDI Industrial has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. They listen to the customer throughout every stage of the project and work to provide a solution that meets our expectations in design, timing, and price. Their ability to self-perform has truly been a huge benefit and reason for this project being ahead of schedule.”
