Prepac Manufacturing Ltd., a North American manufacturer of Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) furniture
will locate a new east coast furniture factory in Guilford County, creating 201 jobs and investing $27.1 million in a new 260,000 square foot factory in Whitsett. Prepac Manufacturing, headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, is one of the largest producers of RTA furniture, supplying most of North America’s major online retailers. The company’s new facility in North Carolina will help the company expand its markets and expedite shipments to consumers located along the entire eastern seaboard.
“When we started evaluating potential locations for our new east coast factory there were several good options for us to consider” said Jim Mathison, President of Prepac Manufacturing. “Ultimately, we chose North Carolina and specifically Guilford County due to several key factors including the availability of a highly skilled workforce, easy access to major markets, and compelling State and County resources to help ensure that this project is successful given these uncertain times.”
