Company will add 36 new jobs and up to a $4.5m investment
Amesbury announced today that they will expand their current facility at the Dowell Industrial Park, located one mile from Interstate 40 in Statesville, NC. The plant expansion will be a two-phase project implemented over a three to five year period. This decision allows Amesbury to increase production of current products at the Statesville plant.
Amesbury, a division of the Lupus Capital headquartered in London, England opened its current Statesville facility in 1990. The Statesville plant produces weather-stripping products for the door and window industry. The Textile Division has grown steadily over the past 17 years and expanded their product line to include both woven and non-woven style weather seals. The company runs an ISO9001, ISO14001, OHSAS18001 and Six Sigma world class manufacturing facility.
Rich Gustin, General Manager, made the following statement, “First I give GOD the glory. I am pleased with the outstanding workforce that we have in our community. We have been able to put together an excellent group of people here. Everyone at Amesbury-Textile has worked very hard as a team for many years to establish our facility as a center of manufacturing excellence in the production of pile weather-stripping. Through their efforts we have earned this opportunity for growth. I am proud of our people and our accomplishments, and am excited about the bright future this growth will present to us.”The new plant will be an investment up to $4,500,000, and will also be adding 36 new positions once the expansion on their facility is completed.
Partners who helped make this announcement possible include Iredell County and the Greater Statesville Development Corporation.
Amesbury will have a ground breaking at their Dowell Park site on Tuesday, August 14 at 10 am.
