Judco Manufacturing Plans Snow Hill, North Carolina, Headquarters-Research Operations

10/24/2025
Automotive supplier Judco Manufacturing plans to establish operations in Snow Hill, North Carolina. The $5.3 million project is expected to create 60 jobs in Greene County.

The company’s new 50,000-square-foot headquarters and research and development facility will include its corporate, engineering, and production functions.

“Relocating Judco Manufacturing’s headquarters and R&D operations to Greene County is a major milestone in our company’s growth,” said Kurt George, President and CEO of Judco Manufacturing. “North Carolina offers the right combination of workforce, infrastructure, and business climate to help us innovate and stay competitive in a rapidly changing automotive market. We are proud to invest here and look forward to building a long-term partnership with the community.”

To support the project a performance-based grant of $125,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help the company locate to North Carolina. The OneNC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments to help attract economic investment and to create jobs. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for payment. All OneNC grants require matching participation from local governments, and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.

“There are more than 170 million customers within a day’s drive of eastern North Carolina,” noted Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “With 20 of the top 100 OEM automotive suppliers calling our state home, Judco Manufacturing is in great company, and North Carolina is committed to providing the workforce training systems that will help develop the talent they need for today and tomorrow.”

In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), other key partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina Community College System, North Carolina Global TransPark Economic Development Region, Greene County, and Duke Energy.

Judco Manufacturing manufactures precision electromechanical components serving OEM and Tier 1 customers in the automotive, appliance, and industrial markets. The company specializes in custom-designed pushbutton switches, wire harnesses, and injection-molded plastic components used in high-demand applications where performance and durability are critical.
