The investment includes the construction of a new facility on the company's existing campus which will allow Metal Trades to build components and fixtures in-house for the United States Navy. The expansion is scheduled to be complete by the second half of 2023.
“Metal Trades, Inc. is excited for the positive impact this expansion will have on rural Charleston County as we continue to increase our capacity to support the defense industry, as well as our private sector customers.

Chairman and CEO R.B. Corbin said.

We appreciate Metal Trades, Inc.’s ongoing commitment and look forward to the positive impact this expansion will have throughout the state,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III noted.
