Manufacturer will bring 200 new jobs to Mocksville

A new manufacturing facility is expected to bring 200 jobs to Mocksville.

Palltronics, the maker of the first fully trackable shipping pallet, has chosen Mocksville as the home for its initial manufacturing site.

The Michigan-based company announced on Tuesday it will lease a 253,000 square foot industrial building in the SouthPoint Business Park.

According to a news release from Davie County Economic Development, Palltronics will invest over $40 million in the site. Company officials say at least 200 jobs will be created by the time the plant opens during the third quarter of 2022. Hiring for production jobs will begin in June.

The site will also house an innovation center, with hiring for those positions expected to start in early spring.

Palltronics has developed what might be called a “smart” shipping pallet, with GPS-like technology that offers track and trace capabilities. Officials say the first three years' worth of production is already sold out.

While the company will not receive any state incentives, it will qualify for local performance-based incentives from Davie County and the Town of Mocksville.
