SCBIZ Presents June 2026 In the Lead: Best Legacy Businesses
SCBiz Staff // June 22, 2026//
We are pleased to announce the June installment of our In the Lead: Best Legacy Businesses recognition program — honoring South Carolina companies that have demonstrated longevity, resilience and sustained success over decades of operation.
These organizations represent the foundation of South Carolina’s business community. Through economic cycles, industry disruptions and changing market conditions, they have continued to grow, adapt and serve as important contributors to the state’s economy. Their enduring success reflects strong leadership, a commitment to employees and customers, and a lasting impact on the communities they call home.
This list recognizes publicly traded and privately owned companies headquartered in South Carolina that have been in business for at least 25 years and employ a minimum of four people. The companies featured here have helped shape the South Carolina business landscape and stand as examples of what it takes to build a lasting enterprise.
The list was compiled by SCBIZ’s editorial leadership team based in part on recommendations from the business community, as well as our own research and reporting.
Please join us in congratulating the businesses recognized here. We hope you enjoy learning more about the companies whose longevity, innovation and perseverance have made them pillars of South Carolina’s economy.
If you know of a company that would be a strong candidate for future inclusion on our In the Lead: Best Legacy Businesses list, we’d love to hear from you.
