Rolled Alloys, a provider of specialty alloys, today announced plans to locate its new facility in Chester County. The $3.7 million investment is expected to generate 24 new jobs.
“We are pleased to move forward with plans to open a new facility in Chester County. South Carolina offers our company an excellent business environment and a skilled workforce. We appreciate all the support we’ve received from state and local officials,” said Jason Wilson, general manager of the new facility for Rolled Alloys.
Rolled Alloys will locate its new operations in the Crenshaw Spec Building in Richburg. The company provides stainless steels, nickel, cobalt and titanium alloys. The company expects to have the new facility in operation by the third quarter of 2012.
