Steel fabricator used for Apple HQ, other high-profile projects bringing 180 jobs to Rock Hill

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Phoenix, Arizona, structural steel fabricator will hire 180 and spend $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.

“Expanding our manufacturing operations to York County will enhance Schuff Steel’s fabrication capabilities and capacity in the eastern region of the United States,” says Rustin Roach, CEO of DBM Global Inc., which owns Schuff Steel.

S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster says the new jobs are high paying.

“The 180 new jobs this investment will create will change the lives of South Carolinians; and, for that, we are extremely grateful,” McMaster says.
