AVM Group Establishes National Headquarters in Charleston County

AVM Group, a leading national provider of turnkey controlled environments, today announced it is establishing its national headquarters in Charleston County. The company’s $5 million investment will create 30 new jobs.

Founded in 1983, AVM Group designs, engineers and installs controlled environments, specializing in cleanrooms, dry rooms, sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIFs), and advanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiation shielding.

At its new 12,000-square-foot headquarters facility, located on Wingo Way in Mount Pleasant, AVM Group will conduct design, engineering, and research and development operations for new controlled environment construction projects. The company’s South Carolina operation will also support specialized operational and manufacturing functions conducted at its existing site in Ohio.

Operations are expected to be online in 2027. Individuals interested in joining the AVM Group team should visit the company’s careers page or contact careers@avmgroup.com.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. The council also awarded a $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Charleston County to assist with the costs of site preparation and building construction.
