DAZZLE ME WITH BRILLIANCE.

We agree. We’re not about smoke and mirrors. We’re here to protect and improve your greatest asset — your people. We can even save you money in the process. Them, too.

Since 1946, we’ve been serving South Carolina from South Carolina. We know the best health care plan is simply good health. We give you what you need in a health care plan — so you get what you want for your company.

More options. More access. More coverage. Want more? Think Blue.SM

800-500-5281 • SouthCarolinaBlues.com Trust. Value. Choices.

BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Don’t try tobaffle me …


It’s knowing your life insurance can help provide incomefor retirement. And peace of mind until you get there.

WHAT IS THE SIGN OF A GOOD DECISION?

Bradley D. Atkins General Agent The South Carolina Agency 741 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 Phone: 843-856-5556 Fax: 843-216-3352 Email: [email protected]

The strength of a whole life policy from MassMutual lies in its flexibility. On one hand, it helps guarantee the protection of your family’s financial future. On the other, it’s a solid asset you can turn to when the financial markets are down. It builds guaranteed cash value1 over time that can supplement your retirement income during a turbulent economy. And, as a mutual company, we are owned by our members and participating policyholders. That means looking out for their best interests is our first priority. We also have some of the highest financial strength ratings of any company in any industry.2 So whole life from MassMutual gives you more than financial flexibility. It gives you the confidence of knowing you made a good decision.

Talk to a local MassMutual representative or visit MassMutual.com to learn how whole life can supplement your retirement income.

LIFE INSURANCE + RETIREMENT/401(K) PLAN SERVICES + DISABILITY INCOME INSURANCE + LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE + ANNUITIES

MassMutual Financial Group refers to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MassMutual), its affiliated companies and sales representatives. Whole life issued by MassMutual, Springfield, MA 01111. Other insurance products issued by, and ratings apply to, MassMutual and its subsidiaries, C.M. Life Insurance Company and MML Bay State Life Insurance Company, Enfield, CT 06082. 1Access to cash value through borrowing or partial surrenders can reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability. 2Financial strength ratings as of 11/30/09: A.M. Best (A++); Fitch (AAA); Moody’s (Aa2); Standard & Poor’s (AA+). Ratings are subject to change. Learn more about our mutual structure at www.MassMutual.com/Mutuality. CRN201108-124058

2009 BUSINESSJOURNAL EVENTS

Vol. 16 No. 3 A Special Supplement to the Charleston Regional Business Journal

It is my pleasure to present to you the Charleston Regional Business Journal’s 2010 Book of Lists. It’s hard to believe, but this is our 13th year publishing the Book of Lists. It continues to be a worthwhile endeavor to gather listings that will help you build your business as well as fi nd the services you need to enhance your operations.

New for this year is a section that refl ects a solid business trend, Green Business. With the ascension of Clemson University’s Restoration Institute as a hotbed of innovation and testing for wind turbine technologies, it only makes sense for us to begin to quantify and qualify businesses in this sector. Th is year, we’ll launch the section with lists of Eco-Based Companies and a directory

of LEED Accredited Professionals. Plus lists of Architecture, Engineering and General Contractors all ranked by LEED professionals on staff . We expect this category to have dynamic growth in this decade and welcome your help in identifying new green business sectors for lists as they develop. Th e other new lists we are featuring are Minority-Owned Businesses in Charleston County and a list of the local members of the Society of Industrial and Offi ce Realtors (SIOR).

Our researchers have put untold hours into the compilation of the lists, and I want to remind you that we have specialized soft ware to enable the collection of data and to provide a more robust interface for you to use online. Under the “Resources” tab on www.charlestonbusiness.com, you will fi nd the electronic version of our Lists and Leads. In addition to being able to download lists as Excel spreadsheets, you will be able to view lists in PDF format and use a Google maps search option. Since we’ve grown, you also will have access to Columbia, Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson and statewide information online. And new for this year are editions of the Book of Lists from GSA Business and the Columbia Regional Business Report in print. Also new for 2010 is online access to lists gathered by our business publishing colleagues around the nation, and through our site you can download lists from these other markets.

As the book grows, navigation between lists and sections becomes trickier, and we have continued to tweak the color coding and tabs to make things easier to fi nd. Each section has its own color tab and section titles are at the top of each page and within the tabs on the margins.

I again want to express how gratifying it is to have the continued support of our sponsors and advertisers, most of whom have been with us for years. Our sponsors and advertisers play a vital role in enabling us to continue to devote an increasing amount of resources to improving this publication, and you can learn about these forward-thinking companies on our About Our Sponsors page. Our title sponsors, Mass Mutual, BlueCross and BlueShield of South Carolina and Regal Logistics, deserve a round of applause for having the vision to help provide this vital resource to the business community. I also want to extend a special thank-you to Mass Mutual who has supported the Business Journal and sponsored the Book of Lists since their inceptions. Th ank you for believing in us.

On behalf of the entire staff , I hope the 2010 Book of Lists continues to be a useful and essential part of your business, and we welcome your feedback on ways we can improve it for 2011.

Enjoy

OUR SECTION SPONSORSABOUT SPONSORSour

Regal Logistics is proud to sponsor the 2010 Book of Lists. It and other SCBIZ publications are valuable commerce and trade resources. And we should know. Last year, Regal Logistics opened a new distribution center at the Port of Charleston. Our decision to expand here was easy — it came down to the people and the pro-business environment. We’re pleased to be part of this thriv-ing community. We hope you’ll benefi t from the Book of Lists and invite you to learn more about Regal Logistics within its pages.

We have watched the Lowcountry’s growth even as BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina has grown. As an active partner in the inter-reliance of businesses, we are pleased with the emergent strength of this region. And because we rely on each other, the Book of Lists is a tool that will aid continued growth and success. When you need to know who owns and operates a business, how that business performs, or whom to contact within that business, you’ll fi nd what you need in this directory. We are proud to once again be a sponsor of the Book of Lists — an asset to every mem-ber of our business community.

I’d like to introduce myself as the new general agent of Th e South Carolina Agency. Our agency has been a proud sponsor of the Charleston Regional Business Journal and the Book of Lists since their inception. We are pleased to sponsor the Book of Lists again for our 13th year. We believe in the importance of this directory and hope you fi nd it as benefi cial as we do at our offi ce. Please fi nd our contact information on the back cover and contact us if we can be of assistance to you!

S.C. mortgage industry operating with less competition, more rules

By Ashley Fletcher [email protected]

When the housing market faltered last year, it took with it many mortgage industry jobs and companies that

had prospered in the preceding boom years. For some who managed to hang on, lower

interest rates have brought an infusion of new business. While loan volumes are nowhere near levels seen at the market’s peak in 2006, there’s now less competition for the loans, said Bob

By Mike [email protected]

While Washington is debating a cap-and-trade bill intended to take on global warming, utilities oper-

ating in South Carolina are taking action to meet regulators’ call for innovative ways to reduce how much power the state uses.

In the past year, the S.C. Public Service Commission has called on the utilities it regu-lates to submit plans for better demand-side management. Th at’s an umbrella category for

the diff erent ways utilities can encourage their customers to reduce the use of power — or at least rein in the growth of their consumption.

Th e commission is not setting mandated levels of energy savings but is requiring utili-ties to come up with their own plans to man-

Fluor Corp. saw the potential of wind power early in the technol-ogy’s development, and set out

to become a major player for renewable sources of energy.

“We saw the potential in this tech-nology six or seven years ago,” said David Eppinger, vice president in the power division at Fluor. “We believed it would yield proj-ects of the size and complexity that Flu-or is known to ex-ecute very well.”

Today, the engi-neering and con-struction company that employs more than 2,500 profes-sionals in Greenville is the prime con-tractor for the world’s largest wind tur-bine project under construction – the Greater Gabbard Offshore Farm near Britain’s Suffolk coast.

The giant turbines will occupy a hostile, corrosive environment of salt-water, waves and storms, while resting on pylons in water as deep as 100 feet. Despite those challenges, the service life of each of the high-tech windmills is expected to be 20-25 years.

The $2 billion-plus, 500-megawatt complex is expected to be 20 miles or more from shore, minimizing visual and noise objections from neighbors. The 140 windmills will stand on 260-foot-tall towers and have three-bladed rotors that are more than 300 feet in diameter.

Siemens Wind Power A/S will build turbines for the British project. Each one will pump out 3.6 megawatts of

Greenville and South Carolina have a grow-ing cluster of expertise in harnessing the wind. GE Energy makes electric generators driven by windmills capable of lighting a small town. Fluor Corp. builds wind farms that stand like centuri-ons at sea and pour out enough power for a city. Three companies in S.C. make bearings for the huge machines. Wind turbines utilize free en-ergy, and emit no harmful carbon pollutants. The American Wind Energy Association es-timates U.S. wind power capacity will grow 20%, or 5,000 megawatts, this year alone. Demand for this new-technology hard-ware will preserve jobs, or even increase employment in the Upstate.

WINDS OF CHANGE

Wind-powered turbines critical to future growthby James T. [email protected]

In the next 20 years, worldwide electricity demand is expected to double, and the world’s largest gas turbine plant, oper-ated by General Electric on Garlington Road in Greenville,

is retooling itself to meet a diverse set of global needs, including wind power generators.

Already one of every two wind turbines in the United States today is made by GE. Last year, GE Energy built 604 of the 60-ton wind tur-bine machine heads in Greenville. (The blades are made elsewhere.)

GE Energy expects demandto grow for generatorsbuilt in Greenville factory

State changes immigration audit process


A one-page form now replaces what had become a time-consuming ordeal for businesses try-ing to prove they haven’t broken South Caro-

lina’s new immigration law.As of late September, the S.C. Department of Labor,

Licensing and Regulation is asking employers to sign a one-page form stating that they are not knowingly or intentionally employing people not autho-rized to work in the U.S.

If the employer signs the form, state auditors will no lon-ger ask to see identifi cation doc-uments for workers hired before July 1, 2009, when the law took

Broken. Over-regulated. Sheer chaos. Th ose are some of the ways S.C.

health care providers describe the nation’s health care system.

Most want Congress to change the structure of health care and the golden ticket required

for accessing it: Insurance. But a common call for change doesn’t equate to a unifi ed vision for improvement.

Local health care providers’ views on the ideal system are as varied as their work and specialties. For example, some see a health insurance system run entirely by the federal government as the only way to ensure every-one has coverage. Others say that idea, known as a single-payer system and generally seen as politically unworkable, would have disastrous fi nancial and regulatory consequences for

Golf’s Economic ImpactIn 2007, golf courses and the off-course

expenditures of visiting golfers had a

billion-dollar economic impact (direct,

indirect and induced) in South Carolina:

$2.721 billion in output or sales.•

33,535 jobs.•

$834 million in personal income.•

$276 million in federal, state and local taxes. •

Green fees and club membership dues

generated $12.9 million in admissions tax

revenue, accounting for more than 39%

of state admissions tax collections.

Note: The impacts of real estate sales in golf communities and off-site purchases

of golf equipment by local golfers are not included in these totals.

S.C. mortgage industry operating with less competition, more rules


When the housing market faltered last year, it took with it many mortgage industry jobs and companies that

had prospered in the preceding boom years. For some who managed to hang on, lower

interest rates have brought an infusion of new business. While loan volumes are nowhere near levels seen at the market’s peak in 2006, there’s now less competition for the loans, said Bob

By Mike [email protected]

While Washington is debating a cap-and-trade bill intended to take on global warming, utilities oper-

ating in South Carolina are taking action to meet regulators’ call for innovative ways to reduce how much power the state uses.

In the past year, the S.C. Public Service Commission has called on the utilities it regu-lates to submit plans for better demand-side management. Th at’s an umbrella category for

the diff erent ways utilities can encourage their customers to reduce the use of power — or at least rein in the growth of their consumption.

Th e commission is not setting mandated levels of energy savings but is requiring utili-ties to come up with their own plans to man-

Fluor Corp. saw the potential of wind power early in the technol-ogy’s development, and set out

to become a major player for renewable sources of energy.

“We saw the potential in this tech-nology six or seven years ago,” said David Eppinger, vice president in the power division at Fluor. “We believed it would yield proj-ects of the size and complexity that Flu-or is known to ex-ecute very well.”

Today, the engi-neering and con-struction company that employs more than 2,500 profes-sionals in Greenville is the prime con-tractor for the world’s largest wind tur-bine project under construction – the Greater Gabbard Offshore Farm near Britain’s Suffolk coast.

The giant turbines will occupy a hostile, corrosive environment of salt-water, waves and storms, while resting on pylons in water as deep as 100 feet. Despite those challenges, the service life of each of the high-tech windmills is expected to be 20-25 years.

The $2 billion-plus, 500-megawatt complex is expected to be 20 miles or more from shore, minimizing visual and noise objections from neighbors. The 140 windmills will stand on 260-foot-tall towers and have three-bladed rotors that are more than 300 feet in diameter.

Siemens Wind Power A/S will build turbines for the British project. Each one will pump out 3.6 megawatts of

Greenville and South Carolina have a grow-ing cluster of expertise in harnessing the wind. GE Energy makes electric generators driven by windmills capable of lighting a small town. Fluor Corp. builds wind farms that stand like centuri-ons at sea and pour out enough power for a city. Three companies in S.C. make bearings for the huge machines. Wind turbines utilize free en-ergy, and emit no harmful carbon pollutants. The American Wind Energy Association es-timates U.S. wind power capacity will grow 20%, or 5,000 megawatts, this year alone. Demand for this new-technology hard-ware will preserve jobs, or even increase employment in the Upstate.

WINDS OF CHANGE

Wind-powered turbines critical to future growthby James T. [email protected]

In the next 20 years, worldwide electricity demand is expected to double, and the world’s largest gas turbine plant, oper-ated by General Electric on Garlington Road in Greenville,

is retooling itself to meet a diverse set of global needs, including wind power generators.

Already one of every two wind turbines in the United States today is made by GE. Last year, GE Energy built 604 of the 60-ton wind tur-bine machine heads in Greenville. (The blades are made elsewhere.)

GE Energy expects demandto grow for generatorsbuilt in Greenville factory

State changes immigration audit process


A one-page form now replaces what had become a time-consuming ordeal for businesses try-ing to prove they haven’t broken South Caro-

lina’s new immigration law.As of late September, the S.C. Department of Labor,

Licensing and Regulation is asking employers to sign a one-page form stating that they are not knowingly or intentionally employing people not autho-rized to work in the U.S.

If the employer signs the form, state auditors will no lon-ger ask to see identifi cation doc-uments for workers hired before July 1, 2009, when the law took

eff ect for businesses with more than 100 employees.

Two-part audit processLawmakers adopted the new immigration law in

2008, setting out acceptable methods of work status verifi cation for employees hired aft er July 1, 2009. Th ose include inspection of driver’s licenses or use of the federal E-Verify system.

Broken. Over-regulated. Sheer chaos. Th ose are some of the ways S.C.

health care providers describe the nation’s health care system.

Most want Congress to change the structure of health care and the golden ticket required

for accessing it: Insurance. But a common call for change doesn’t equate to a unifi ed vision for improvement.

Local health care providers’ views on the ideal system are as varied as their work and specialties. For example, some see a health insurance system run entirely by the federal government as the only way to ensure every-one has coverage. Others say that idea, known as a single-payer system and generally seen as politically unworkable, would have disastrous fi nancial and regulatory consequences for
