"One start-up company chose to grow in Danville and produce fiber optic devices, including ones that will help defend military aircraft from missiles.
François Chenard, president and founder of IRflex Corporation, started leasing space in the Dan River Business Development Center in Ringgold Industrial Park West in September.
