Precision Textiles is set to open a new factory in Troy, N.C., in September.

TOTOWA, N.J. – To better serve its customer base in the mattress segment, Precision Textiles has signed a lease for a new 160,000-square-foot, 25-acre campus in North Carolina.

The new plant, located at 163 Glen Road in Troy, N.C., is expected to be operational by Sept. 1 and will employ 100 area workers. In addition to the new facility, the company operates a warehouse in North Carolina.

A former textiles production factory that served the automotive industry, the facility is the company’s first domestic manufacturing facility outside its home state of New Jersey. It will double the manufacturer’s needle-punch nonwovens production and boost its high-loft quilting fiber output by 50%. In addition to its production capacity, the facility includes warehousing space. The workforce at the facility will include new employees as well as some experienced staff from the textile company that previously operated the plant.

“Demand for these products has risen to the point where we are near full capacity at our home facility in New Jersey,” said Scott Tesser, CEO of Precision Textiles. “In addition to keeping pace with current demand, this investment positions us for future growth as we continue to expand our customer base in the bedding and automotive industries.

“This new factory will enable us to better meet the needs of our customers throughout the nation and logistically helps us reduce transit time to those located across the Southeast. It will also give us more capacity to better serve both existing and new customers,” Tesser said. “The plant previously had a nice history in textiles manufacturing, so it provided us with a head start in terms of equipment and experienced employees.”

Founded in 1987, Precision Textiles is a global supplier of coated fabrics, nonwovens and laminates for companies in the mattress, home furnishings, automotive and healthcare industries, as well as military apparel. The company’s 250,000-square-foot New Jersey headquarters includes a lab, factory and warehouse. Precision also has four other warehouses located in Los Angeles; Fort Worth, Texas; Clearwater, Fla.; and Archdale, N.C.
