Polyvlies USA, a needle punched nonwoven textiles company, plans to expand its manufacturing operations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The $31 million project is expected to create 28 jobs over five years.

Our expansion at Union Cross Business Park is a testament to the confidence we have in this region and its ability to support our needs now and in the future,” says Axel Hinrichs, CEO of Polyvlies USA.
