Berenyi, a South Carolina-based industrial and commercial design-build firm, has completed construction to retrofit Symrise’s current facility in Goose Creek, South Carolina.
Symrise Manufacturing is a global food additives and fragrance company with facilities in the Lowcountry.
The design and build firm, built a cleanroom environment that accommodates the global manufacturer’s first fully automated filling station in North America.
Construction started in the Autumn of 2022 after Berenyi completed the design phase of its multi-year contract awarded in 2020 by Symrise.
This new completely automated filling line packages more than 14 products in a cleanroom environment to ensure the best quality products reach Symrise customers and consumers.

This fully automated food-grade filling station is capable of filling 55 gal drums, pails, and IBC containers, and it also palletises, labels, and straps the finished packaged units once filling is complete.
The filling station currently has two total product lines: one for 55 gal drums and IBC containers and one for 25kg pails with room to expand to an additional drum filling line in the future.
This highly complex system is capable of packaging 40 drums per hour, and up to 240 pails per hour.
Dr Chacy Richey, VP of Supply Chain Scent and Care, North America of Symrise, said: “We turned to Berenyi, a long-time Symrise partner, to take this project from concept to completion because their team mirrors our same standards of excellence,” Richey said.
Jordan Behringer, Berenyi’s Managing Partner and the lead on the Symrise cleanroom project, said: “It is incredibly rewarding to have worked on a project that ensures only quality products leave the Port of Charleston for destinations across the globe.”
Berenyi’s team of experts served as the project’s lead architect, structural engineer, and construction manager.
