ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, N.C. ? Gov. Bev Perdue announced Monday that the Global Textile Alliance Inc. fabrics manufacturer plans to create 55 jobs and invest $7.4 million over the next three years in Reidsville.
Officials said the project was made possible in part by a $150,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
?North Carolina has a long and celebrated history in the textile industry,? said Gov. Perdue, in a prepared statement. ?Manufacturers are expanding here because of our state?s investments in education and job training programs.?
State officials said Global Textile Alliance is headquartered in Reidsville and manufactures bedding and upholstery fabrics which are sold to several major U.S. furniture brands.
The Reidsville plant is home to the company?s corporate headquarters, distribution, design, sales and marketing, finance and quality control divisions. There are currently more than 130 people working at the facility.
Officials said salaries will vary by job, but the average annual payroll for the new jobs will be more than $1.5 million.
?Global Textile Alliance, Inc. is extremely pleased to have the continued support of North Carolina to help us broaden the foundation of our company,? said Steven Graven, President of Global Textile Alliance, in a press release.
