DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc., an interior construction company that uses technology for client-driven design and manufacturing, plans to establish operations at Legacy East Business Park in Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The $18.5 million investment is expected to create more than 100 jobs in York County. Construction of the company's new 130,000-square-foot facility is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2020, with commercial operations commencing in 2021.

"We're very pleased to establish manufacturing operations in Rock Hill, which will maximize DIRTT's production efficiency, ensure we have the capacity to support business growth and will help us better serve our customers geographically.

Thank you, Rock Hill, York County and South Carolina for welcoming DIRTT,” said DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc. CEO Kevin O'Meara.

The company uses its proprietary ICE software to design, manufacture and install fully-customized interior environments. The technology drives DIRTT Environmental Solutions, Inc.'s advanced manufacturing and provides certainty on cost, schedule and the final result.

DIRTT Environmental Solutions' York County operations include the development of a new tile and millwork manufacturing facility and a DIRTT Experience Center showcasing the company's interior construction solutions.

As an incentive, Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to this project.
