SALEM, Virginia. – April 23, 2015 – Apptech Solutions, LLC, an innovative design and manufacturer of water and wastewater treatment and conveyance solutions today announced plans to expand into a 27,000 sq. ft. facility located at 3993 Daugherty Road in Roanoke County. The ribbon cutting and open house event included state and local elected officials to celebrate Apptech’s growth in Roanoke County.
Apptech worked with Roanoke County to identify a suitable facility to accommodate its operations. The existing facility allowed the company to expedite their expansion while providing the office and manufacturing space needed, and land to accommodate future growth. The company was assisted by the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP) of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) with a $78,000 grant to support their recruiting and workforce training needs. “Apptech is a local entrepreneurial success story that dramatizes the growth in manufacturing in the Roanoke region. Their continued investment here speaks to the strong economic climate and business support network available in Roanoke,” said Jill Loope Director of Economic Development for Roanoke County.
