Scot Industries Plans Johnston County, North Carolina, Production Operations

01/05/2024
Scot Industries Inc., a North American supplier of specialty tubing products, plans to establish operations in Johnston County, North Carolina. The $40 million project is expected to create 21 jobs.

The manufacturing facility, located on 77 acres in Four Oaks, will serve markets across the southeastern U.S.

“Without a doubt, the Economic Development Incentive Grant offered by Johnston County played a tremendous role in selecting the site in Four Oaks for future investment and job creation,” says Robby Anderson, plant manager based at Scot’s corporate headquarters in Muscoda, Wisc. “We greatly appreciate the pro-business approach and the partnership with our company, and we look forward to calling Johnston County home.”

As an incentive the Johnston County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a nearly $1.2 million Economic Development Investment Grant, a performance-based incentive payable over five to seven years. In addition Four Oaks will consider a similar package of municipal incentives for the project. Scot Industries also will receive free customized training from Johnston Community College, in addition to about $46,000 in workforce development grants from the state’s Division of Workforce Solutions.

“Our value proposition hasn’t changed. We still offer a formidable range of industrial assets in a competitive cost structure," noted Chris Johnson, Director of the Johnston County Economic Development Office.

Scot Industries supplies specialty tubing product including hydraulic cylinder tubing, cylinder barrels, honed steel tubing, pneumatic cylinder tube, pump barrels, chrome ID tube, aluminum air cylinder tube, stainless air cylinder tube, brass air cylinder tube and DOM and seamless steel tube.
