Danville will be home to the first U.S. location for WB Alloys, a U.K.-based wire alloy manufacturing company, Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s office announced Friday. The project represents a $6.6 million investment and is expected to create 30 jobs.
The facility in Danville will specialize in wire alloy production for the U.S. Navy and Department of Defense, which already have a presence in the city through the Accelerated Training in Defense Manufacturing program.
