AVM Group announced on Mar. 26 that it will establish its national headquarters in Charleston County, investing $5 million and creating 30 new jobs. The company, which specializes in controlled environments such as cleanrooms and advanced shielding facilities, will operate from a new 12,000-square-foot site on Wingo Way in Mount Pleasant.
The move is significant for economic development in the region and aligns with efforts to foster business growth and job creation. AVM Group’s expansion supports the local economy while contributing specialized industry expertise.
Trip Textoris, CEO of AVM Group, said, “Our new headquarters on Wingo Way represents a pivotal bridge between our company’s storied history and its ambitious future. This state-of-the-art facility will serve as the collaborative heart of our leadership team, providing the space and inspiration necessary to drive our next chapter of growth. Our goal is to create a facility that exists in harmony with its surroundings — utilizing sustainable building practices that protect the local ecosystem and preserve the environmental integrity of the land. We are proud to call the Lowcountry home and remain committed to being a responsible neighbor and a long-term contributor to the economic vitality of the area and its residents.”
Governor Henry McMaster said, “AVM Group’s decision to establish its national headquarters in Charleston County is a win for South Carolina.
