Six Electronic
Plants Select
Sites In State
Electronics plants in North
Carolina, known as the nation’s
leading manufacturer of textiles
and tobacco, are increasing rapid
ly. Six large companies began op
erations in or started construction
of new facilities in the State last
year. They will employ approx
imately 9,000, according to Paul
Kelly, head of the Division of
Commerce and Industry of the De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment.
All of the plants are located in
or near cities in which important
textile or tobacco industries, or
both, already existed. This diver
sification was a feature of North
Carolina s industrial expansion in
1952, which ran the scale from
arms (expansion of the Oerlikon
1
plant near Hw^nnanoa) to zippers
(establishment of plants by Talon,
Inc., at Woodland, Belmont and
Stanley).
Principal additions to North
Carolina's electronics roster dur
ing 1952 were:
International Resistance Com
pany of Philadelphia, Pa., has un
der construction a $200,000 plant
at Asheville that will initially em
ploy 225 persons, and plans to ex
pand gradually to about 500. This
firm manufactures resistors used
in electronic and electrical devices
to limit and control electrical cur
rent.
Western Electric Company has
under construction a plant near
Winston-Salem that will cost
around $4,250,000 and will employ
approximately 2500 production
employees. This plant will manu
facture electronic equipment for
the armed forces for which it
holds government contracts. West
ern Electric now operates 4 major
plants in Winston-Salem, one in
Greensboro and one in Burlington.
The total employment in all of
their North Carolina plants is
around 10,000.
Sylvania Electric Products, Inc.,
of New York purchased a 55,000
sq. foot cabinet plant in High
Point to manufacture cabinets for
television sets, employing approx
imately 200 persons. Plans call for
the assembly of complete televis
ion sets here at a later date.
CornclI-Dubilier Electric Corp.
of Plainfield, N. J., plans to con
struct a 275,000 sq. ft. aircondi
tioned building in Sanford which
will employ more than 2,000 work
ers. This electronic concern will
manufacture capacitors to be used
in automobile ignition, radio, tele
vision and in equipment for the
armed forces. The decision to lo
cate in Sanford was based on the
success of the company’s other
southern plant, now in operation
in Fuquay Springs.
Westinghouse Electric Corp. is
now grading a site on which to
construct a multi-million dollar
watt meter manufacturing plant
on a 100-acre site near Raleigh,
rhe plant will employ around 2500
workers, and it is estimated that
the investment will be around
$12,000,000.
General Electric Company tre
pan operations in its electric
blanket and heating pad plant in
Asheboro recently. When this
plant reaches full production it
will turn out $46 million worth of
merchandise a year. The initial
300 workers will be increased sub
stantially in the future. The mod
ern 134,000 sq. ft. plant houses
the entire operations for both elec
tric blankets and heating- pads
and has a payroll in excess of $1,
500,000 a year. G. E. has had a
small but highly successful oper
ation at Goldsboro for several
years.
—A free country is one in which
a nobody can make himself feel
important by cussing a somebody.
—The man who boasts of the
wonders he is going to work never
amounts to much as a worker.
