RICHMOND HILL, Ga. – March 5, 2024 – C&H Precision has broken ground on its new home in Bryan County, Ga. CEO and Founder Buck Holly and the entire C&H Precision team welcomed hundreds of attendees, several state and local politicians, media members, area business leaders, law enforcement and first responders, business partners and others vital to C&H’s rapid rise to the site of the new headquarters. The facility in the city of Richmond Hill will span 50,000 square feet, create up to 60 jobs and become a place for the community to gather.
In plans released earlier, the C&H campus will include state-of-the-art manufacturing, indoor shooting ranges for the public and law enforcement, a retail store with Federal Firearms License, a sandwich and coffee shop and more. This multi-use facility will not only increase C&H Precision’s manufacturing and design capacity to support its growing business needs, but it will increase the company’s involvement and contributions to the local community.
“C&H Precision is more than just a brand or a company,” said Buck Holly, owner of C&H Precision. “We prioritize community support, engagement and involvement. This is important to me because my family and I arrived here more than six years ago with nothing more than a small business and a dream. This is the area and community that welcomed us and allowed us to grow. This is where the people who joined our workforce and supported our dreams live, raise families and call home. Our employees are our lifeblood and are the reason we stand here today with such exciting and expansive plans.
“Being able to announce this here in Bryan County and Richmond Hill means the world to us. It is also not lost on us that so many political figures, economic development partners, vendors, fellow business owners and friends are here today and directly involved in what we’re building. I want to thank everyone who is here and who has helped us get to this point. We are just getting started.”
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was unable to attend due to weather impacts to travel, the ceremony featured over a half of dozen speakers and was well-attended by the community. Speakers at the standing room only event were:
Buck Holly
United States Congressman Buddy Carter
C&H President Patrick Kisgen
TJ Hudson of Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones’ office
Richmond Hill Mayor Russ Carpenter
Summer Beal with Bryan County/Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce
Lamar Smith of Smith Family Homes
Ron Stevens, State Representative
Sean Register, Development Authority Board
Bryan County Chairman Carter Infinger
The state-of-the-art expansion is designed to foster creativity and productivity. It will include offices and manufacturing facilities for employees to enhance product quality and production efficiency. A 10-bay indoor shooting range will provide an arena for product testing and development opportunities. Finally, the Ground and Rounds Coffee Shop will be available to the public and foster a vibrant community atmosphere.
Local firm Felder & Associates Architecture was chosen for the early-stage design process. For the civil engineering efforts, Coleman Company Inc. of Savannah, GA was selected for the estimated $16,000,000 project. West Construction has been chosen to handle the erection of the new headquarters.
