CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Global window and door manufacturer JELD-WEN announced Friday that it will add 200 jobs to its headquarters in Charlotte as the company plans a new multimillion-dollar corporate campus and training center.
“North Carolina’s outstanding business climate continues to attract new jobs and investment from global companies looking to sharpen their competitive edge,” said North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory. “This expansion by JELD-WEN speaks highly of our state’s great workforce and to the company’s confidence that it can recruit top executive-level talent here from around the world.”
JELD-WEN designs, produces and distributes an extensive range of energy-efficient doors, windows and related products for homes and commercial buildings.
The company plans to hire administrative, management and other staff. The pay will vary by job function.
“JELD-WEN is investing in Charlotte because this vibrant city has so much to offer in the way of talent and amenities,” said Mark A. Beck, president and CEO of JELD-WEN. “We appreciate the support provided through the state Job Development Investment Grant as well as local Charlotte-Mecklenburg support, and we look forward to strengthening our connection with this great community.”
The expansion in Charlotte will be facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee. The company is eligible to receive up to $2.4 million in reimbursements.
It's not clear when the company will begin hiring for the new positions.
