An Arizona-based manufacturer is expanding its East Coast presence with a new facility in Youngsville, resulting in a $1 million investment for the county and the creation of between five and 10 jobs.
Quail Run Building Materials, Inc. — a leading manufacturer of cold-formed steel building components — will expand its operations with the establishment of a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing plant at 265 Northbrook Drive in Youngsville, according to information from Franklin County Public Information Officer James F. Hicks III.
“We are excited to welcome Quail Run Building Materials to Franklin County,” said Barbara Fiedor, Franklin County Economic Development director. “Their investment and job creation will not only strengthen our local economy but also enhance our reputation as a prime location for companies in the manufacturing sector and demonstrate Franklin County’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment for new development and investment.”
Quail Run was established in 1986 and is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. The company is known for its high-quality products and commitment to innovation in construction solutions.
“We are thrilled Quail Run Building Materials has chosen Franklin County for their East Coast expansion,” said Ryan Preble, Franklin County interim county manager. “Their presence will bolster our local manufacturing sector and provide valuable opportunities for our community.”
This new facility marks the company’s strategic move to North Carolina to better serve the East Coast market and strengthen its industry presence.
“Quail Run Building Materials is excited to expand operations with our new facility in North Carolina. Both the Town of Youngsville and Franklin County have been great partners in the development of this project, and we are excited to work with neighboring businesses as well as the local community to create additional growth and economic opportunity,” said Craig Gautschi, Senior Vice President, East Coast Division.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony and grand opening event are planned for late April 2025. For additional information about the grand opening or to learn more about employment opportunities, email CraigGautschi@qrbm.com or by visit the company website at www.qrbm.com.
