The business landscape in Franklin County, NC, is set to receive a boost with a new addition to its manufacturing sector. Quail Run Building Materials, Inc., a leader in the production of cold-formed steel building components, is firming up its presence on the East Coast with a recently declared expansion of their operations. The company is putting down roots with a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing plant at 265 Northbrook Drive in Youngsville. This move represents a $1 million investment and is anticipated to create 5-10 full-time jobs, according to details provided by Franklin County's official news release.
Welcoming the arrival of Quail Run, Barbara Fiedor, Franklin Economic Development Director, highlighted the anticipated positive impact. "We are excited to welcome Quail Run Building Materials to Franklin County," she said on Fraklin County. Already established since 1986 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, the company produces high-quality products and is regarded for its commitment to innovative construction solutions. The expansion to meet demand across the East Coast also aims to enhance Franklin County's appeal as a manufacturing hub.
In recognition of the county's burgeoning reputation, Ryan Preble, Franklin County Interim County Manager, expressed his confidence in the economic upliftment that Quail Run's decision to set up a plant will provide. "Their presence will bolster our local manufacturing sector and provide valuable opportunities for our community," he told Franklin County officials.

With enthusiasm mirroring that of the local officials, Craig Gautschi, Senior Vice President, East Coast Division of Quail Run, outlined the company's outlook on the expansion. "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," he explained on Franklin County, suggesting a collaborative future that looks beyond mere financial investment.
