Columbia-based Roy Metal Finishing (RMF) is expanding its current operations by building a second facility in Greenville County. Having added more than 100 jobs since its 2011 expansion, the new $16 million investment is expected to generate at least 40 new jobs over the next two years.
RMF, one of the largest metal finishing company on the East Coast, currently operates three facilities in Greenville County, and serves many of the I-85 corridor’s automotive, heavy truck and industrial equipment suppliers. Founded in 1961, RMF focuses on automated processes and chemical controls, introducing environmentally friendly corrosion protection for aluminum and steel stampings, extrusions, castings and forgings.
Construction on the new facility at Greenville County’s Matrix Business and Technology Park is expected to be complete by June 2016 and will provide an additional 85,000 square-feet.
“The region’s automotive, heavy truck and industrial equipment manufacturers continue to drive our growth,” said John Pazdan, RMF president and CEO. “We are seeing increased demand in our core businesses of electroplating, electro coating and powder coating, as well as growth in warehousing, supply chain management and third party inspection. We continue to innovate to offer unmatched comprehensive solutions for assembly operations throughout the Southeast.”
