Yeadon Fabric Domes Plans Fayetteville, North Carolina, Manufacturing Operations

03/24/2025
Yeadon Fabric Domes, a manufacturer of air supported structures, plans to establish operations in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The $4.6 million project is expected to create 72 jobs in Cumberland County.

The company’s new 50,000-square-foot headquarters and manufacturing facility will be located at the Fayetteville Regional Airport.

“Yeadon Domes is thrilled to be expanding our operations to Fayetteville,” said Matt Mejia, CEO of Yeadon Fabric Domes. “Throughout the process, it has become clear that Fayetteville is the perfect place to build our manufacturing facility, and to continue producing world-class air-supported domes. We’re grateful for the support of Governor Stein, and our many partners throughout North Carolina. We look forward to joining the community and expanding Yeadon’s 55-year legacy in Cumberland County.”

To support the project a performance-based grant of $225,000 was 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 a matching participation from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.

“North Carolina is one of the fastest growing states in the nation as it continues to be recognized as the top state to do business in America,” noted N.C. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Yeadon Fabric Domes will benefit from a friendly business environment, a world-class workforce, and a rewarding lifestyle in Cumberland County, and we believe they will find great success here.”

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, Cumberland County, the City of Fayetteville, and the Fayetteville Cumberland County Economic Development Corporation.

Yeadon Fabric Domes specializes in the design, manufacturing, and installation of air domes for sports facilities, warehouses, and industrial applications.
