The site has a production capacity of over 2 million furniture parts a year. The focus is on manufacturing components for shelving systems. The plant currently employs 100 people; and this number is expected to increase to 250 in the future.
SBA Home chose the location in North Carolina because of its proximity to wood-based materials suppliers, sales markets, and ports for potential raw material imports. Furthermore, the region boasts an established furniture industry which means good access to skilled workers. Before the investment was made, SBA Home had considered several different locations along the US East Coast. Eventually, the company chose a former logistics facility in Mocksville, whose buildings could be converted for furniture production.
