Technology company Pallidus is relocating its corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations to a new facility in York County, S.C., leased from private equity firm Boston Andes Capital.

Pallidus, which manufactures silicon carbide wafer semiconductors, will depart its New York headquarters for the Rock Hill, S.C., site, which is located at 1786 and 1800 Overview Drive. The 300,000-square-foot property will house both the company’s corporate headquarters and its manufacturing plant. Its research and development facility will remain in New York.

Pallidus is investing $443 million in the project. The Buenos Aires, Argentina-based owner acquired the property from Framingham, Mass.-based Calare Properties in August 2022.

The relocation is expected to create 405 new jobs. The new facility, which is scheduled to come online in 2023, is located in the metropolitan area of Charlotte, N.C.

Rock Hill Mayor John Gettys credited his city’s utility infrastructure with helping land the investment.

He noted in prepared remarks that for decades the community has invested in its utility systems with the belief that dependable and modernized utilities would entice investments. He added that Rock Hill’s foresight and commitment to attain the diamond standard recognition as a Reliable Public Power Provider has resulted in one of the most impactful economic development announcements in its history.

The Charlotte area continues to be a popular destination for industrial facilities. Most recently, Crow Holdings announced it would develop The Oaks Logistics Center in nearby Belmont, N.C.
