Wieland Expands Pine Hall, North Carolina, Manufacturing Operations
12/16/2024
The investment will allow the company to begin production of Tech Tubes — high-performance tubes designed to optimize heat transfer in air conditioning and refrigeration technology, and Cold Plates — energy-efficient cooling devices designed to enhance the performance and lifespan of electronics.
“Today’s announcement demonstrates Wieland’s proud impact in Pine Hall as we grow and strengthen our influence on the community and the industry with high quality products made in America," said Ivan Di Stefano, President, Wieland Thermal Solutions and Senior Vice President, Wieland Group. "I appreciate the commitment of the North Carolina Department of Commerce and Stokes County whose efforts were instrumental in advancing this project.”
To support the project a performance-based grant of $100,000 from the One North Carolina Fund was awarded. 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 a matching grant from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.
“Wieland Copper Products’ expansion is a tremendous win, not only for the Pine Hall community, but for North Carolina’s prominent aerospace, defense, information technology, and manufacturing industries,” noted N.C. Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders. “I look forward to seeing this company expand in our great state, and the innovative, green technology they will produce.”
In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), other key partners in this project include the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina Community College System, Forsyth Tech Community College, County of Stokes, and Stokes County Economic Development.
Wieland supplies semi-finished copper and copper alloy products. The company offers a range of solutions for customers in the air conditioning, refrigeration, electronics, and automotive industries.
