In mid-September, 2011, Pinellas County business Dynamet Incorporated broke ground on an expansion project that will increase the company’s facility by 23,000 square feet and bring 15 new jobs to the area.

Riffee, General Manger, Dynamet Florida, the right decision was made: “We really did weigh every available choice and ultimately concluded that Pinellas County was in the best interest of Dynamet and Carpenter Technology Corporation.”
