Founded in 1983, the company designs and builds controlled environments, including cleanrooms, dry rooms, sensitive compartmented information facilities, and electromagnetic interference and radiation shielding systems. These capabilities support industries where precision and security are non-negotiable, including advanced manufacturing, defense, and technology.
The 12,000-square-foot headquarters on Wingo Way in Mount Pleasant will house design, engineering, and research and development functions. The site will also support operations tied to AVM Group’s existing facility in Ohio, connecting the company’s work across regions.
Operations are expected to begin in 2027.
The project includes support from state and local incentives. The South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits, along with a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Charleston County to assist with site preparation and construction.
State and local officials pointed to the investment as part of continued growth in technical and engineering-focused industries across the region.
The CEO of AVM Group, Trip Textoris, stated:
“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.”
Demand for controlled environments continues to rise across sectors that require contamination control, data security, and precision manufacturing. Cleanrooms and SCIFs are increasingly tied to expansion in semiconductors, life sciences, and defense-related operations.
For Charleston County, the addition is another signal of where growth is concentrating. Projects tied to specialized infrastructure and technical services are becoming a larger part of the region’s economic mix.
As the project moves toward a 2027 opening, attention will shift to hiring and how the facility integrates with AVM Group’s existing operations.
The longer-term impact will depend on whether investments like this translate into sustained job growth and continued expansion in technical infrastructure across the region.
