Entrepreneurship is Thriving
Record numbers of new businesses and industries have registered in Caldwell: 250-500 each year since 2018. The CCC&TI Business Center is ready to assist.
Even as Caldwell Country rapidly diversifies, the furniture industry remains a vital part of our manufacturing base. Hickory–Lenoir–Morganton Metropolitan Statistical Area is still number one in the state and world for furniture manufacturing.
In terms of existing talent, experience, infrastructure and resources, this is the best place to locate or expand a wood products company. Additionally, The North Carolina State University Industrial Extension Service, home of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NIST MEP) affiliate, has joined forces with statewide partners to develop an E3 (Economy, Energy and the Environment) initiative for the sustainability of the sector.
