Cambridge Pavers Plans Pittsylvania County, Virginia, Manufacturing Operations

12/18/2024
Cambridge Pavers, Inc., a manufacturer of high-quality pavers, slabs, plans to establish operations in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. The $47.35 million project is expected to create 55 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new 150,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at the Ringgold East Industrial Park.

"It is with great anticipation and a deep sense of pride that we announce our investment to establish a new manufacturing facility in Virginia,” said Cambridge Founder and CEO Charles H. Gamarekian. “This expansion represents a significant milestone in the continued evolution of Cambridge Pavers, reinforcing our commitment to innovation, precision, and excellence in every aspect of our business. With the integration of cutting-edge technology and a dedicated team of professionals, we are poised to elevate our production capabilities and further strengthen our ability to serve our customers with our eighth manufacturing facility. Moreover, this new facility underscores our enduring dedication to fostering economic growth and creating lasting value for the local community. We are excited to embark on this new chapter, which will undoubtedly propel us toward even greater achievements."

Governor Youngkin approved a $220,000 grant from the Commonwealth's Opportunity Fund to assist Pittsylvania County with the project. Additionally, Cambridge Pavers will receive support from the Virginia Talent Accelerator Program, a program, created by the VEDP in collaboration with higher education partners, that provides recruitment and training services at no cost to the companies served.

"The addition of Cambridge Pavers to Southside Virginia's manufacturing community reinforces its position as a prime location for companies seeking expansion opportunities," noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. "The region's robust infrastructure and dedicated workforce, combined with Virginia's strategic location advantage, continue to attract diverse manufacturers to the Commonwealth. We look forward to supporting Cambridge Pavers' success in their new Virginia operation."

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with Pittsylvania County and the Southern Virginia Regional Alliance to secure the project.

“The Industrial Development Authority is delighted to welcome Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec to the Ringgold East Industrial Park,” added Pittsylvania County Industrial Development Authority Chairman Dr. Joey Faucette. “Their investment gives the Dan River District an innovative corporate neighbor who provides our county new jobs and added revenue. Cambridge Pavers’ commitment to manufacturing quality, high-end products enhances our expanding portfolio of excellent companies in Pittsylvania County and augments the necessary diversity that expands our rapid economic growth. On behalf of myself and the IDA, we wish Cambridge a bright future here in Pittsylvania County.”
