Rock Hill’s outstanding quality of life and welcoming community make it an ideal location for our growing business. We are especially excited to bring our sustainable, cold-casting manufacturing technology to the U.S., where we will produce high-performance equipment bases that serve a wide range of industries. This marks a significant milestone for our company, and we look forward to building strong partnerships and a bright future in South Carolina.”
