RSI Home Products Manufacturing, Inc. Expands Its Facility In Richmond County, North Carolina
03/01/2016
The company manufactures cabinets for use in the residential repair and remodeling and new residential construction markets sold through home centers, kitchen and bath dealers and new homebuilders. RSI Home Products Manufacturing is a unit of RSI Home Products, Inc. based in Anaheim, California. The privately-held company is a leading manufacturer of kitchen, bath and home storage cabinetry in North America.
RSI has over 3 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution operations with assembly and distribution facilities in California, Texas and North Carolina. The company has been manufacturing its products in North Carolina for over 20 years and currently operates a one million square foot facility in Lincolnton which employs more than 700 full time people.
“Manufacturing leaders continue to choose North Carolina because nothing compares to the great workforce, competitive cost structure and market access they find here,” said Governor Pat McCrory. “RSI Home Products Manufacturing builds off a tradition of quality and innovation that has made it an outstanding fit for our state’s business community.”
RSI will employ a variety of skilled craftsmen, supervisors and management at the new facility. The company’s operations in Richmond County will generate nearly $5.5 million in annual payroll impact for the local economy.
“We are looking forward to significantly expanding our presence in North Carolina with this new 300,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Richmond County that will be opening later this year. We would like to thank the State of North Carolina, the Richmond County Board of Commissioners and county staff for all of their assistance with this project as we were moving through the process.” stated Jeff Hoeft, Chief Operating Officer of RSI.
The manufacturers’ expansion in North Carolina was made possible in part by a performance-based grant of up to $550,000 from the One North Carolina Fund. This fund provides financial assistance in support of local governments in creating jobs and attracting economic investment. Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for funds. All One NC grants require a local government match.
A $750,000 grant from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program will help ready the company’s new building for operation. The funds are administered by the Rural Economic Development team at N.C. Commerce.
In addition to North Carolina Commerce and EDPNC, other partners include the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, NCWorks, the North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority, Richmond County Board of Commissioners and Richmond County Economic Development.
