Australia-Based VectorTex USA Plans Elizabethtown, North Carolina, Manufacturing Operations

11/24/2025
Australia-based VectorTex USA, LLC, a product developer and technology company, plans to establish operations in Elizabethtown, North Carolina. The more than $6 million project is expected to create 44 new jobs.

The company’s new 25,000-square-foot North American manufacturing facility will be located in the Elizabethtown Industrial Park.

“We’re excited to establish our new manufacturing facility in Elizabethtown, North Carolina. This investment strengthens our ability to serve customers across the United States, shortening supply chains and strengthening our global engineering, quality and production capability,” said Callum de Vries, Technical Business Development Manager at VectorTex USA. “The support we have received from North Carolina and Bladen County has been exceptional, and we’re eager to create new opportunities as we bring our advanced engineering and manufacturing operations online.”

To support the project a performance-based grant of $120,000 has been awarded 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.

“We’re proud to welcome VectorTex to North Carolina and Bladen County,” noted N.C. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Their investment reflects the growing confidence companies have in our state’s rural communities, infrastructure, and workforce.”

In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, other partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, the Golden LEAF Foundation, the North Carolina Community College System, Bladen Community College, North Carolina’s Southeast, North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, Four County EMC, Bladen County, Bladen’s Bloomin’ Agri-Industrial, Inc., the Bladen County Economic Development Commission, and the town of Elizabethtown.

VectorTex USA is the U.S. subsidiary of Vector Technologies, an Australian contract manufacturer for the life sciences, aquaculture, automotive, and food and beverage industries. The company develops medical device components and product technology for oyster farming.
