National Spinning Company Bringing 50 New Jobs To Duplin County With Expansion | Eastern North Carolina Now

Press Release:

    Raleigh, N.C.     Governor Pat McCrory, N.C. Commerce Secretary John E. Skvarla III and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC) announced today that National Spinning Co., Inc. will be expanding its facilities in North Carolina and creating 50 new jobs over the next three years. The company plans to invest $1.5 million in the town of Beulaville over the same period.

    "Our traditional manufacturing industries are still a large part of the backbone of North Carolina's economy," said Governor McCrory. "Companies like National Spinning Company are important to the continued strength of those industries."

    National Spinning Company is based in Washington, N.C. and has been a traditional textile manufacturer in N.C. since 1921. The company is an employee-owned manufacturer and distributor of yarn, nonwovens, and consumer craft items, with plant locations in Washington, Whiteville, Beulaville, Burlington, and Lincolnton, N.C. It currently has more than 600 employees in North Carolina.

    "National Spinning Company has been a part of the fabric of Duplin County for decades," said Secretary Skvarla. "It is one of North Carolina's great, traditional, home-grown companies, and this expansion sends a strong signal that manufacturing is alive and well in our state."

    The new jobs in the expansion include operators, shipping and receiving and general maintenance with varied salaries by position. The added payroll of the new jobs will be approximately $1.2 million annually.

    James W. Chesnutt, Chairman/CEO stated, "Our company has operated in Duplin County for many years and is extremely pleased to create additional employment opportunities and investment in the County. We are fortunate the products produced in the Beulaville facility continue to be in high demand. The assistance from the EDPNC, Department of Commerce, and Duplin County Economic Development Commission is greatly appreciated."

    The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $100,000. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance through local governments to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance standards to qualify for grant funds. These grants also require and are contingent upon local matches.

    "Congratulations to National Spinning Company on this expansion and these new jobs," said Senator Brent Jackson. "This is great news for Duplin County."

    "New jobs are always welcome news in North Carolina and in Duplin County," said Representative Jimmy Dixon. "I applaud National Spinning Company for its decision to expand here."

    In addition to N.C. Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of N.C., other partners that helped with this project include North Carolina Community College System, Duke Energy, Duplin County Economic Development Commission and Duplin County.
