Company Expanding in Caldwell County

This week Gov. Bev Perdue announced that Woodgrain Millwork Inc, a leading producer of wood millwork, will locate a new facility in Caldwell County.  The company plans to create 170 jobs and invest more than $8 million over the next five years in Lenoir. “The decision to open a facility in Caldwell County was based on the access to a workforce with wood manufacturing experience from the furniture industry as well as the strategic location within our southeast distribution coverage area,” said Kelly Dame, CEO of Woodgrain Millwork, Inc.  Rep. Edgar Starnes of Hickory said, “I’m very pleased that Woodgrain Millwork is expanding its presence in North Carolina by opening a new facility in Caldwell County…It’s a testament to our skilled and dedicated workforce that this company thrives in North Carolina and expands its investments here.”  The project was made possible in part by a $635,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
