Fibertex Personal Care, a Danish textile company, will add 145 jobs in Asheboro with its first U.S. manufacturing facility, Governor Cooper announced today. The company plans to invest $60 million by December 31, 2021 with a project facilitated in part by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG). The Rail Division will invest $200,000 towards the construction of a $900,000 industrial spur track though the Rail Industrial Access Program.
"Fibertex Personal Care could go anywhere in the world, but they chose North Carolina," said Governor Cooper. "Our state's workforce and leadership in manufacturing and textiles brought this company here."
Fibertex Personal Care manufactures nonwoven materials for different applications in the personal care industry, including diapers, feminine hygiene and incontinence care products.
"Fibertex Personal Care chose the right location in Asheboro for its first facility on U.S. soil," said Senator Jerry W. Tillman. "I'm proud to welcome the company to our community." "The people of Randolph County are ready to welcome the Fibertex Personal Care people and get to work," said Representative Pat B. Hurley. "Fibertex chose to locate here in Asheboro over any place in America, and we couldn't be more excited."
Partnering with N.C. Commerce and the EDPNC on this project were the N.C. General Assembly, the N.C. Community College System, the North Carolina Railroad Company, the City of Asheboro, Randolph County, the Randolph County Economic Development Corporation, Duke Energy and Norfolk Southern.
