Shurtape Technologies Breaks Ground on New Distribution Center in North Carolina
The new facility will support Shurtape Technologies’ retail and industrial distribution requirements in the Southeastern U.S.
Shurtape Technologies has officially broken ground on a new distribution center in Catawba, N.C. Expected to open in the spring of 2020, the facility will offer 205,000 sq ft of high-bay storage, with the capability of expanding to 1 million sq ft, including space for light manufacturing operations. The new facility will support the company’s retail and industrial distribution requirements in the Southeastern U.S.
More than 30 team members currently employed at Shurtape’s distribution center in Catawba will transfer to the new facility. The company expects to add 100 new positions over the next four years to support continued business growth.
“We elected to stay in Catawba because it’s geographically well-placed among our many tape manufacturing facilities in the Unifour area as well as among our customers in the Southeast,” said Stephen Shuford, CEO of Shurtape Technologies’ Industrial Group. “It’s also our strong preference to create jobs and increase investment in the communities that have historically been so supportive of our company. We appreciate the support of the town of Catawba, Catawba County and the state as we celebrate this latest growth milestone.”
Shurtape expects to invest over $31 million in the project, which is being facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) that was approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee. For more information, visit http://shurtapetech.com.
