"This announcement is more evidence that North Carolina offers growing manufacturers the right ingredients for success," said Governor Cooper in a release. "With our state's rank as a high-tech textile hub, East Coast proximity, and skilled and capable workforce, Drylock Technologies has made a great choice in choosing Rockingham County for its first baby diaper manufacturing facility in the nation."
The family-owned company produced private-label absorbent baby, feminine, and adult care hygiene products for more than a decade with nine facilities globally.
