The manufacturer of threaded bolts for the food and beverage, wind power, and heat exchange industries in Northern Europe, will invest $1.35 million in the Varina facility in southeastern Virginia, according to the Citizen.

Virginia successfully competed with Indiana for the project, which will create 10 jobs.

“Virginia is all in for clean energy, and we welcome Rose Holm’s decision to locate its first U.S. operation in our Commonwealth,” stated Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam. “We look forward to a strong partnership with Rose Holm as we work to make Virginia a hub for the East Coast offshore wind supply chain and service industries.”

Established by Erik Rose Holm in 1953, Rose Holm is a privately-owned fastener company.  In 2010, Ann Rose Bokkenheuser became the third generation to own and serve as CEO.  Web: RoseHolm.dk/en

“We believe that the North American market will expand when it comes to the demand for quality solutions within the highly engineered fastener products portfolio,” said factory manager Matthew Barnes.
