Charlotte expansion Significant investment to relocate headquarters and build a 40,000 to 70,000 sq ft manufacturing footprint in Charlotte, NC, creating new regional sales and service capacity; target customers in the Southeast and adjacent regions will benefit from faster delivery and local technical support.
