Bailey Manufacturing Company Plans Laurinburg, North Carolina, Production Operations

04/11/2025
Bailey Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of stamped metal automotive parts, plans to establish production operations in Laurinburg, North Carolina. The more than $4.3 million project is expected to create 35 jobs in Scotland County.

The 50,000-square-foot facility will double the company's production capacity and offer more manufacturing, warehousing, and administrative space.

“Bailey Manufacturing is excited to join the growing list of automotive suppliers in North Carolina. Our new southeast facility will allow us to better serve our growing customer base,” said John Hines, President of Bailey Manufacturing Company. “I want to thank North Carolina, Scotland County, Scotland County EDC and the City of Laurinburg for their assistance in making this project a reality and look forward to a prosperous future together.”

A performance-based grant of $120,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help support the project. 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.

“BMC is a great addition to our automotive supply chain of more than 250 manufacturers,” noted N.C. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “North Carolina is home to 20 of the top global OEM suppliers, the largest manufacturing workforce in the Southeast, and one of the largest state-maintained transportation networks to get parts to customers all over the world.”

In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), other partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina Community College System, Richmond Community College, North Carolina’s Southeast, Scotland County, Scotland County Economic Development Corporation, and City of Laurinburg.

Bailey Manufacturing Company supplies stamped metal components for the automotive industry. Additionally, the company offers machining, welding, and assembly services for its list of customers, including automotive manufacturers such as General Motors and many others.
