NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — Founder Camille Rutledge says the expansion reflects growing demand for the company's work along the coast.
Industry analysts say the company's growth reflects broader momentum in South Carolina's manufacturing and logistics sectors, which have expanded steadily over the past several years.
Company leadership says the decision was shaped in part by proximity to the Port of Charleston and access to a growing pool of technical graduates from state universities.
The company plans to share more details on hiring timelines and community partnerships in the coming months.
What Comes Next
Officials say the coming months will be a key test of whether the momentum described above holds up. Community members in North Charleston are encouraged to follow updates as more details become available.
