DIRTT Shutters Operations at Rock Hill, SC Facility

Struggling wall maker DIRTT this week announced the suspension of operations at its manufacturing facility in Rock Hill, South Carolina. With sufficient capacity for current and expected production requirements at its facilities in Savannah, Georgia and Calgary, Alberta, the decision is part of the company’s ongoing focus on realigning the organization, driving efficiency, and improving profitability.

The closure comes after an approximate $18.5 million investment in the Rock Hill plant announced in June of 2021. The custom-built 130,000 square foot building was reported to be expandable to 260,000 square feet to support future growth, which obviously is not currently happening. 

DIRTT will continue to assess its capacity requirements and will evaluate options to resume operations at the Rock Hill facility as volume demand continues to expand.

Mr. Urban also notes, “I’d like to thank the Rock Hill team for their commitment to building exceptional spaces for our clients across the United States and Canada. We’ll be supporting our Rock Hill staff with their transitions.”

The company most recently reported a loss of $19.3 million on revenue of $44.7 million.
