Charlotte Business Journal reported that a Phoenix, Arizona, structural steel fabricator will hire 180 and spend USD 9 million to reopen a Rock Hill plant. Schuff Steel Co, which has provided the steel skeleton for such projects as the circular Apple Inc. headquarters in Cupertino, California, and the Wilshire Grand in Los Angeles, expects to start production in the renovated building by year end. Rustin Roach, CEO of DBM Global Inc., which owns Schuff Steel, said "Expanding our manufacturing operations to York County will enhance Schuff Steel's fabrication capabilities and capacity in the eastern region of the United States. The 180 new jobs this investment will create will change the lives of South Carolinians; and, for that, we are extremely grateful.’

Schuff Steel will occupy a 148,000-square-foot building at 1345 Hall Spencer Road in southeastern Rock Hill, near the town of Catawba. The structure had been occupied by Supermetal until 2017 and previously by Worthington Industries Inc., which closed its steel fabrication there a decade earlier.

Schuff Steel is directly operated by HC2 Holdings Inc. Schuff operates eight steel fabrication plants in the United States. The closest location to Charlotte is a facility in Albany, Georgia.
