A new manufacturing company is building and expanding its business in Beaufort’s Commerce Park.&nbsp;

Dust Solutions Inc. (DSI) is a manufacturer of environmental technology, and works with industrial clients around the world to resolve fugitive dust challenges in complex and critical&nbsp;work environments.&nbsp;

It will bring to the Commerce Park a new 12,000- to 15,000- square-foot manufacturing facility and will employ 20-plus people.&nbsp;

Headed by Richard Posner, president, and Aura Posner, vice president, the new Beaufort facility will house corporate, engineering and production functions along with sales offices located in Vancouver, Wash.; Santiago, Chile; and Manila, Philippines.

Aura Posner said that “when evaluating DSI’s location strategy, our team assessed several factors including availability of infrastructure, access to well-established and growing transportation corridors for our international business, and importantly, active participation by state and local government and infrastructure partners to support our mission and growth.&nbsp;

“The city of Beaufort’s commitment to supporting manufacturing businesses such as DSI was integral in our decision-making process,” Beaufort City Manager Bill Prokop, said. “It has been a pleasure working closely with the Posners over the last several months to be sure that the city could provide the needs for their expansion.&nbsp;

"They have a great company and it is going to be the ‘poster child’ for further development in our Commerce Park.&nbsp;
