More Manufacturing NC Jobs Announced

Governor Pat McCrory and the Economic Development Partnership of N.C. have announced that AR Textiles Ltd. will be locating a new manufacturing facility in Martin County and plans to create 38 new jobs over the next three years. The company plans to invest $12 million in the town of Robersonville over the same period.  “Leading manufacturers recognize that our state brings together all the right elements so they can achieve more,” said Governor McCrory. AR Textiles is part of Sunflag, a global group of companies with international operations ranging from yarns, fabrics, garment and household textiles utilizing the latest technology and machinery. Salaries will vary by job but will include operators, supervisors and quality control. The average annual payroll of the new jobs will be $1 million. The project was made possible in part by a performance-based grant from the One North Carolina Fund of up to $114,400.
