Manning, SC— Ken Holladay founded Santee Pole & Piling Inc. in 1989 after leaving the pole mill business to build his own hybrid operation. He had spent years buying poles in eastern South Carolina’s coastal plain before purchasing a smallscale pole mill in Lane, one for which he had formerly worked. Holladay disassembled the equipment, moved everything to Manning and kept it running for seven years while also starting and managing a logging crew to feed the yard. Santee Pole & Piling contracted with Koppers Inc. to finish and treat the green poles it produced and delivered.
