We continue to innovate to offer unmatched comprehensive solutions for assembly operations throughout the Southeast,” said RMF President/ CEO John Pazdan.

“To see one of our existing companies succeed to the point that it is able to continue to invest and create jobs here is a real reason to celebrate. RMF’s $16 million investment, and the 40 new jobs it will create, will make a real difference in Greenville County, and we couldn’t be more excited that this fantastic company continues to show its commitment to our state and to our people,” Governor Nikki Haley commented.
