SteelFab Inc., a Charlotte-based steel fabrication company, announced plans to expand its South Carolina operations with a $30 million investment in Richland County that will create 100 new jobs.
The company engineers, manufactures and supplies fabricated structural steel and steel products for the construction industry. SteelFab operates 18 facilities across the United States, including four existing locations in South Carolina.
