Orbus Visual Communications, a leading company in the visual communications, retail environments, and workplace interiors sector, is set to expand its operations with a new $25 million manufacturing facility in Huntersville. This development is expected to generate 100 new jobs while also relocating 86 existing positions from Charlotte.
Orbus serves high-profile clients such as Audi, Nike, and Wrangler. The upcoming 225,000 square foot facility on Hambright Road will merge the production capabilities of SEG Systems and Fabric Images, encompassing a wide range of processes from printing and metal fabrication to wood working and lighting.
“I am proud of Orbus Visual Communications and our success, marked by this relocation and expansion to a new cutting-edge facility,” said Gary Keefer, CEO of Orbus Visual Communications in a press release. “This relocation and expansion propels us forward and reinforces our commitment to excellence in the Retail and Interiors markets.”
SEG Systems, originally based in Charlotte, specializes in the engineering and manufacturing of lightboxes, frames, and various merchandising and display systems. Orbus’s acquisition strategy saw SEG Systems joining its portfolio in 2022, following the earlier acquisition of Fabric Images in 2020.
The official opening of the new facility is marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for the afternoon of April 17 at 10701 Hambright Rd.
