Davie County continues to grow as a hub for industry, and Wesco is the latest company to expand here. The U.S.-based energy storage company has leased a nearly 300,000-square-foot building at the TriWest Business Center on US 158 at Farmington Road, along with five acres of outdoor space.
Serving Local and Regional Needs
“We are expanding to better serve the growing demand from one of our largest utility customers in the region,” said Jennifer Sniderman, Wesco’s vice president of corporate communications. “We plan to employ about 40 people at this location. Wesco is proud to be a North Carolina employer, with over 500 employees in 17 locations, and we’re certified as a ‘Great Place to Work in the US.’”
A Boost for Davie County’s Industrial Growth
Terry Bralley, president of the Davie County Economic Development Commission, said Wesco’s new facility shows that the county remains attractive to businesses. “This project reflects the confidence companies have in Davie County as a great place to do business,” he said.
Since buying the property in 2022, The Crown Companies has planned up to 2 million square feet of industrial space at TriWest. Three sites are still available for custom projects, ranging from 100,000 to over 1.2 million square feet.
Part of a Growing Trend in 2025
Wesco’s lease is the third major industrial deal in Davie County this year. In October, Lithuania-based SBA Home began operations at its 500,000-square-foot furniture plant in the Davie Industrial Center, investing around $70 million. Local company Amarr Garage Doors also leased a second 150,000-square-foot distribution facility in SouthPoint Business Park.
Davie County: Ready for Growth
One of the county’s biggest advantages is its ready-to-go sites and buildings, making it easy for companies to expand quickly. SouthPoint Business Park alone has two large shell buildings—109,000 and 130,000 square feet (expandable to 260,000). The county also has four graded sites near I-40, ranging from 15 to 77 acres, plus 300 acres of zoned industrial land ready for development.
“Even with higher interest rates and construction costs, demand for industrial and residential space remains strong,” Bralley said. “We expect many more great projects in Davie County soon.”
