A window manufacturer is pouring $120 million into a new production facility in Mocksville, bringing 400 jobs that pay nearly $14,000 more per year than the average Davie County salary. Governor Josh Stein announced the investment Tuesday, calling it the state's newest addition to a growing cluster of manufacturing projects in the county.
According to Governor Josh Stein, ProVia LLC will build a window manufacturing facility in Mocksville as part of its expansion into Davie County. The North Carolina Department of Commerce reported that the 580,000-square-foot plant will serve as the company's 10th facility overall and its primary manufacturing hub for the southeastern United States, according to a statement from NC Commerce.

The 400 new positions will pay an average annual salary of $66,326, well above Davie County's average annual salary of $52,772, per the same release. That wage differential translates into a potential annual regional payroll impact of more than $26.5 million, the state agency reported.
State Incentives Tied to Performance Benchmarks
To help land the project, North Carolina's Economic Investment Committee approved a Job Development Investment Grant authorizing up to $3,280,500 in potential state performance reimbursements over 12 years, based on an estimated $1 billion economic contribution to the state, the commerce agency's statement noted. JDIG grant payouts are strictly performance-based, meaning ProVia must hit verified hiring and capital investment targets before receiving reimbursement money.
N.C. Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley framed the announcement within the state's broader economic strategy, noting that ProVia's facility selection aligns with North Carolina's “First in Opportunity” economic plan, which focuses on site readiness and infrastructure improvements designed to draw major employers, according to the state agency's release.
Who Is ProVia
Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Sugarcreek, Ohio, ProVia is a privately held, family-owned company operated by the Mullet family that employs over 3,000 workers across nine current locations, according to the company's own fact sheet. The manufacturer produces doors, windows, siding, stone, and roofing, and it distributes its building products exclusively through professional installing dealers and building material distributors, deliberately avoiding direct-to-consumer sales and national big-box home improvement retailers, the fact sheet states. The new Mocksville facility would mark the company's expansion beyond its established Midwestern manufacturing footprint.
Part of a Bigger Industrial Push in Davie County
ProVia's arrival adds to a string of major industrial investments that have landed in Mocksville in recent years. In July, Shanghai Baolong Automotive Corporation and Luftride LLC launched a $15.5 million, 80,000-square-foot plant in the town's SouthPoint Business Park to manufacture automotive air suspension systems, according to the Davie County Economic Development Commission.
In November 2025, Lithuania-based furniture manufacturer SBA Home opened a $70 million, 500,000-square-foot facility in Mocksville's Davie Industrial Center, projecting 250 jobs with an average annual salary of $53,470, as reported by the Davie County Blog. That facility represents the largest Lithuanian investment in the United States. Earlier, global nonwoven fabric manufacturer Avgol completed a $100 million expansion at its Mocksville production facility in February 2025, adding a sixth multibeam spunlaid line and laminate finishing line, the county's economic development commission noted.
Infrastructure Keeping Pace With Growth
The steady stream of industrial announcements has put pressure on Mocksville's municipal systems. The town's draft fiscal year 2025–2026 budget includes a $1 million elevated water tank project in its enterprise fund to support water and sewer infrastructure demands alongside the expanding industrial partnerships, according to a filing reviewed by Citizen Portal. Water and wastewater treatment capacity are often crucial factors in where heavy manufacturers choose to build, and the town's investment suggests officials are trying to stay ahead of demand as more companies move in.
Details on ProVia's exact site location within Mocksville's industrial hubs, any local tax incentives beyond the state JDIG grant, and a timeline for groundbreaking and initial hiring have not yet been made public.
