FASTA's website says the company makes steel and foam panels that are quick to assemble and promote "green" building practices. The new Littleton factory will make panels and trusses.

The One North Carolina Fund provides financial assistance, through local governments, to attract business projects that will stimulate economic activity and create new jobs in the state.
