Errecinque USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Italian manufacturer Errecinque, has selected Bluffton, South Carolina, for its new distribution and customer support facility. The Detroit-based company plans to invest approximately $5 million in the project over five years, creating more than 10 jobs.

“As the business grows, we will continue developing our local organization, with assembly and manufacturing as potential future steps,” Errecinque USA Interim General Manager Paolo Gagliardo said. “We look forward to building a responsive local operation that serves our customers and supports our long-term growth.”

Founded in 1981 and headquartered near Turin, Italy, Errecinque designs and manufactures thermoplastic tubing, hose assemblies, fittings and molded components for commercial vehicles and other automotive and industrial applications. Its products include heated lines and tank sender units for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), fuel and coolant lines and hoses and fittings for air conditioning and refrigeration. The company works with customers to tailor solutions, from material selection and connection design to integration into vehicle systems. 

Errecinque USA expects to open its new Bluffton facility at Buckwalter Place in January 2027. The local team will manage inventory, warehousing, order fulfillment and day-to-day customer support.
