This move marks the company’s first United States-based site and its third production facility in total.

The luxury surface developers considered 75 locations before finding the Bryan County Belfast Commerce Centre in Richmond Hill. The company attributes the site’s proximity to the Savannah port, as well as the support it received from the state, county, and city, as defining factors in its selection. The new plant is expected to create approximately 200 new jobs in Bryan County.
