What we staff across Greater Charlotte
Most plant orders come down to three needs at once: people on the line, people who can run and adjust machines, and an inspector signing off on what ships. Those are the roles we would lead with in Gastonia, Belmont and Mount Holly, with forklift and warehouse staff behind them on the dock.
