Health Insurance Plan
The LMC is very proud of its health insurance program for manufacturers, which has realized more than $2 million in group savings. The program, spearheaded in 1999 by the LMC for manufacturers in the lowcountry region of South Carolina, was expanded to make health insurance coverage available for manufacturers statewide who are members of the LMC. The program currently provides coverage to over 4,000 employees in South Carolina.
