Wolf and Flow X-Ray Relocates Manufacturing & Headquarters to Rocky Mount, North Carolina

11/16/2020
Wolf and Flow X-Ray, a medical imaging manufacturer, will create 68 new jobs in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. The company will invest more than $4.5 million to relocate their headquarters and manufacturing operations to Edgecombe County.

“We are so excited to relocate to Battleboro and the City of Rocky Mount where we know our employees will have a better quality of life,” said Carol Camiola, CFO of Wolf and Flow X-Ray. “We are confident that with the help from the economic development teams and the local colleges that this project will be a great success for us all.

A performance-based grant of $200,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help facilitate Wolf and Flow X-Ray’s expansion. The One NC 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 One NC grants require a matching grant from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.

“North Carolina’s leadership in healthcare delivery and advanced manufacturing combine to make the state an obvious choice for medical device makers like Wolf and Flow X-Ray,” said Commerce Secretary Anthony Copeland. “We welcome this growing company and look forward to helping them connect to the ingredients for their continued success.”

Wolf and Flow X-Ray are global manufacturers of high-quality medical and dental imaging products and accessories. The company holds various patents for its digital radiography and lead protection lines, including the x-ray protective apron.

"We are excited to have a quality company like Wolf and Flow X-Ray locating in Edgecombe County, bringing medical and dental products to our citizens and all citizens of America. We are pleased to be helping Americans be safe and healthy," said Oppie Jordan, Vice President of Carolinas Gateway Partnership.

The average expected annual salary for all new positions is $36,929, creating a payroll impact of more than $2.5 million per year. Edgecombe County’s overall average annual wage is $35,732.
