GMAX Industries Plans Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Production Operations

07/14/2025
Medical products manufacturer GMAX Industries, Inc. plans to establish operations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The $11.4 million project is expected to create 36 jobs in Forsyth County.

The investment will include the purchase of a 144,000-square-foot-facility on 5th Street which will house the company’s manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations.

“We’re proud to introduce GMAX as a trusted partner in the healthcare supply chain,” said Eric Liu, President and CEO of GMAX Industries, Inc. “As we expand our U.S. manufacturing capabilities, our focus remains on delivering high-quality, dependable medical products with greater speed, control, and responsiveness. By investing in domestic production, we’re not only strengthening the supply chain but also supporting American jobs and healthcare resilience.”

The project is being supported by a performance-based grant of $75,000 from the One North Carolina Fund. 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.

“Companies like GMAX benefit greatly from North Carolina’s legacy of manufacturing excellence and entrepreneurial spirit,” noted Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Our state has the largest manufacturing workforce in the southeastern United States, great partnerships, and a storied history of innovation that continues to take our economy, community, and businesses to new heights.”

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, Forsyth Tech Community College, Forsyth County, Greater Winston-Salem, Inc., and the City of Winston-Salem.

“We are proud to support GMAX Industries in their expansion efforts and excited for the opportunities generated by the high-quality jobs they will bring to our community. This is another great example of how we are strengthening our local economy by attracting investment in key industries – both in manufacturing and in the production of healthcare-related products,” added Mark Owens, President and CEO of Greater Winston-Salem Inc.

GMAX Industries, Inc. is a manufacturer and global sourcing partner specializing in high-quality disposable medical supplies. The company provides essential products, including medical textiles, patient bedside plastics and single-use OEM components.
