Organic Standard Solutions International LLC is expanding its existing Charleston County facility, investing $2.4 million and creating about 20 new jobs.

Organic Standard Solutions, known as o2si smart solutions, was founded in 1997 as a subsidiary of United Kingdom-based LGC Group Standards. It provides calibration standards for chemical, environmental, pharmaceutical and food safety companies around the world. The company has sales offices in 20 countries, according to a news release.

“LGC is excited to be developing our team in South Carolina,” said Jon Yeung, COO of LGC Standards in the release. He added, “The U.S. is an important territory for us as we continue to use our science for a safer world.”

The company’s expansion includes relocating to a larger facility at 7290 Investment Drive in North Charleston, which is expected to open later this year. Organic Standard Solutions is currently located at 2030 Savage Road in Charleston.

“The expansion of an existing company is the mark of a strong, well-run business and a strong economy,” North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey said in a statement. “We congratulate o2si smart solutions on their continued success and remain fortunate of the community benefits that will be realized through the company's growth.”
