bilities beyond those available in-house. This
led to the Company’s buying out a small car
pentry shop, the Irvin Manufacturing Company,
in Winston-Salem.
After the Irvin acquisition. Piedmont took
in more outside work in this field. Then, in 1968,
the Company purchased another small firm,
Fabricated Products, of Greenville, South Caro
lina. Fabricated Pi-oducts manufactured lami
nated plastic furniture. The name of this South
Carolina firm was changed to Piedmont Fabri
cators and it was moved to Winston-Salem.
One of the first early homes of Piedmont
Fabricators was an old church, located near
the Company’s general office building. In these
serene surroundings. Piedmont Fabricators
grew rapidly and soon began making a profit
able contribution to Piedmont Aviation, Inc.
Fabricators has since moved into new facili
ties and has become one of the largest manu
facturers of beauty and barber shop equipment
in the Southeast. The furniture they produce
is made of Novoply and laminated with plastic.
With more than 150 active accounts in 25
states mainly east of the Rockies, Piedmont
Fabricators’ sales totaled over $500,000 last
year.
