DILLON, S.C. – Spectrum Quartz, part of the Hirsch Glass Corporation, announced they will be opening a new production operation in Dillon County creating 150 new jobs and making a capital investment of $22.5 million.

"As South Carolina's and Dillon County's new corporate citizen, we are excited about bringing a new manufacturing facility here,” Hirsch Glass Corporation President Alex Xie said. “The decision to build the facility in Dillon County was motivated by the desire to bring our manufacturing facility to the U.S. and was also helped by the strong support of the local and state government. We believe this investment will be beneficial for both Spectrum Quartz and the people of Dillon County, and we are looking forward to being a part the community for a long time."
