Today, Trent Williams, Chair, Toombs County Development Authority announced that Robin Builders, Inc., a local manufacturer of portable storage buildings, is planning to double employment to 120 and invest $4.6 million in a relocation and expansion of their local facility to Toombs Corporate Center at U.S. Highway 1, Lyons, Georgia.
“We are thrilled that Robin Builders chose to expand their facility in Toombs County,” said Chair Williams. “The Company has been a great partner for the Toombs County community since 1970. I am confident that this expansion project will positively impact the local community and encourage continued success in Toombs County’s strong manufacturing base.”
Robin Builders, Inc. manufactures a wide variety of modular utility structures, including storage buildings, greenhouses, play houses, screen rooms. The structures are sold and distributed direct to the public as well as to a network of sealers located throughout the Southeast US.
“Our company is proud to be operating in the City of Lyons, Toombs County, Georgia, now for 49 years,” said Robin Builders, Inc. President Wayne Hartley. We are happy to continue to invest in the community as a result of our great partnership with all of our stakeholders, especially the Toombs County Development Authority and the City of Lyons. We look forward to enjoying many more successes together.”
“Our community is excited to work with Robin Builders on their expansion,” said Toombs County Commission Chair, David Sikes. “They continue to be a superior corporate partner and we are grateful for the quality jobs and investment in Toombs County.”
“Robin Builders is one of Lyons’ finest corporations,” said the City of Lyons Mayor, Willis NeSmith. “Their expansion into the industrial park leaves additional opportunity and space in a desirable intersection in Lyons and we’re excited where that leads as well.”
“While many communities only chase the ‘next big thing’, the Toombs County Development Authority realizes we already have businesses in our community supporting our local schools, families and tax base,” said Development Authority Executive Director Michele Johnson. “When they succeed, our community succeeds. We are proud to partner in the expansion of a home-grown industry in Robin Builders today and we’re excited about the new jobs and investment they are about to make.”
